The Lancaster rehearsal problem was first described in the following paper, although it does not give the data [denardo2012dynamic].

The talent scheduling problem and a heuristic to solve it are described the following paper. It uses data (from a film called Mob Story) which is the basis of the Film1 instance [cheng1993optimal].

A constraint programming model and solutions for the rehearsal and Film1 problems are described in [smith2003constraint].
