Spanish term or phrase: programación lineal y por contención

Hi all!

So I've decided once again to ask for your help in translating this term into English, as I am not getting any responses for the ES-PL pair...
I guess the first part is "linear programming" but what about "por contención"? Any help is much appreciated!!!

Here's the whole context:

Consultoría y asesoramiento técnicos relacionados con la elección y aplicación de software, firmware y hardware informático y de sistemas de procesos de datos; estudios de proyectos técnicos; servicios de consultoría tecnológica; servicios de diagnóstico en materia informática; servicios de consultas profesionales relativas a la tecnología y en materia de programas informáticos; consultaría de ingeniería; servicios técnicos, a saber, servicios al cliente y servicios de asistencia para programas utilizados en la fabricación y distribución; servicios de aplicación de técnicas de búsqueda operacional para la realización de proyectos de mejora organizativa de la producción; programación lineal y por contención, desarrollo de paquetes de programas informáticos de gestión, optimización y planificación de recursos humanos; servicios de consultaría y mantenimiento sobre programas informáticos.

English translation:linear and non-deterministic programming

Explanation:
I think what they mean is programming using a "non-deterministic" algorithm, i.e. where you simulate a scenario such as a network, achieving a result by modelling different agents *contending* for resources. See if the link below makes sense.

linear programming and by control flow

Explanation:
control flow refers to specifiying the order in which instructions and functional calls are executed in a declarative program. I think that is what is meant here.
