Good point. Judging from their web site, Solver and Scheduler are now
both parts of "ILOG CP" (not to be confused with "ILOG CP Optimizer",
which I think is intended to supersede ILOG CP and apparently does not
contain the Scheduler library).

For the benefit of the original poster, Solver (and by implication the
Scheduler library) uses Constraint Programming, which is a (IMHO
significant) paradigm shift from Mathematical Programming.
