About the Book

This collection of 23 papers represents an effort to bring together the work of constraint programming researchers scattered across multiple disciplines and across the world. The collection contributes to the understanding of the common principles of this emerging general paradigm, the investigation of its theoretical foundations, as well as applications to real-world computing problems. It is organized around themes of concurrency and reactive systems, languages and environments, algorithms, computer graphics, and artificial intelligence. Constraint programming aims at supporting a wide range of complex applications which are often modelled naturally in terms of constraints. Early work, in the 1960s and 1970s, made use of constraints in computer graphics, user interfaces and artificial intelligence. Such work introduced a declarative component in otherwise-procedural systems to reduce the development effort. The mid-1980s have witnessed the emergence of general-purpose programming languages based on constraints, such as constraint logic programming and concurrent constraint programming, with significant applications in academia and industry. Today, an increasing number of researchers from all over the map of computing are looking at different aspects of this new computational paradigm.

Part 2 Reactive systems: constraint programming in constraint nets, Ying Zhang and Alan K. Mackworth; robot programming and constraints, Dinesh K. Pai; constraint logic programming - hybrid control, logic as linear programming, Wolf Kohn et al. Part 3 Languages and environments: 2LP - linear programming and logic programming, Ken McAloon and Carol Tretkoff; a constraint-based scientific programming language, Richard Zippel; designing constraint logic programming langauges using computational systems, Claude Kirchner et al; aggregation in constraint databases, Gabriel M. Kuper; synthesis on constraint algorithms, Douglas R. Smith and Stephen J Westfold; exploiting constraint dependency information for debugging and explanation, Walid T. Keirouz et al; constraining the structure and style of object-oriented programmes, Scott Meyers et al.
