Finite-domain constraint programming has been used with great success to tackle a wide variety of combinatorial problems in industry and academia. To apply finite-domain constrain...

We give an efficiently executable specification of the global constraint of lexicographic order in the Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) language. In contrast to previous approaches...
Abstract. We introduce an approach to designing filtering algorithms by derivation from finite automata operating on constraint signatures. We illustrate this approach in two cas...
Abstract. We propose a new family of constraints which combine together lexicographical ordering constraints for symmetry breaking with other common global constraints. We give a g...
Abstract. We describe a simple CSP formalism for handling multi-attribute preference problems with hard constraints, one that combines hard constraints and preferences so the two a...
