Principles of Constraint Programmingby Krzysztof Apt
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 44.00Methods to solve constraint problems (e.g. scheduling) rely on the idea of constraint propagation and search. Using constraint techniques in programming environments has accelerated the solution process, combining ideas from artificial intelligence, programming languages, databases, and operational research. This text is a modern, multidisciplinary introduction covering both foundations and applications. more...
Handbook of Constraint Programmingby Francesca Rossi; Peter van Beek; Toby Walsh
Elsevier 2006; US$ 195.00Constraint programming is a powerful paradigm for solving combinatorial search problems that draws on a wide range of techniques from artificial intelligence, computer science, databases, programming languages, and operations research. Constraint programming is currently applied with success to many domains, such as scheduling, planning, vehicle routing, configuration, networks, and bioinformatics. The aim of this handbook is to capture the full breadth and depth of the constraint programming field and to be encyclopedic in its scope and coverage. While there are several excellent books on constraint programming, such books necessarily focus on the main notions and techniques and cannot cover also extensions, applications, and languages.... more...
Trends in Constraint Programming by Benhamou Frédéric; Jussien Narendra; O'Sullivan Barry
ISTE 2007; US$ 190.00Constraint programming is a constantly evolving field, something which is explored at the annual International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming. This conference provides papers and workshops which produce new insights, concepts and results which those involved in this area can then use to develop their own work. This title provides an accessible overview of this by bringing together the best papers on a range of topics within this subject area, thus allowing those involved in constraint programming to benefit from the new innovations and results created as a result of the conference. more...
Constraint Processingby Rina Dechter
Elsevier 2003; US$ 94.95Constraint satisfaction is a simple but powerful tool. Constraints identify the impossible and reduce the realm of possibilities to effectively focus on the possible, allowing for a natural declarative formulation of what must be satisfied, without expressing how. The field of constraint reasoning has matured over the last three decades with contributions from a diverse community of researchers in artificial intelligence, databases and programming languages, operations research, management science, and applied mathematics. Today, constraint problems are used to model cognitive tasks in vision, language comprehension, default reasoning, diagnosis, scheduling, temporal and spatial reasoning. In Constraint Processing, Rina Dechter, synthesizes... more...
Constraint Logic Programming using Eclipseby Krzysztof R. Apt; Mark Wallace
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 69.00This textbook offers an introduction to the Eclipse system and a guide to problem-solving for students and practitioners alike. more...
Constraint Handling Rulesby Thom Frühwirth
Cambridge University Press 2009; US$ 77.00The definitive reference on Constraint Handling Rules, from the creator of the language. more...
A Class of Algorithms for Distributed Constraint Optimizationby A. Petcu
IOS Press 2009; US$ 167.00Addresses three major issues that arise in Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOP): efficient optimization algorithms, dynamic and open environments, and manipulations from self-interested users. This book introduces a series of DCOP algorithms, which are based on dynamic programming. more...
Constraint Networksby Christophe Lecoutre
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2010; US$ 258.00A major challenge in constraint programming is to develop efficient generic approaches to solve instances of the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). With this aim in mind, this book provides an accessible synthesis of the author's research and work in this area, divided into four main topics: representation, inference, search, and learning. The results obtained and reproduced in this book have a wide applicability, regardless of the nature of the problem or the constraints involved, making it an extremely user-friendly resource for those involved in this field. more...

Multiparadigm Constraint Programming Languagesby Petra Hofstedt
Springer 2011; US$ 99.00Programming languages are often classified according to their paradigms, e.g. imperative, functional, logic, constraint-based, object-oriented, or aspect-oriented. A paradigm characterizes the style, concepts, and methods of the language for describing situations and processes and for solving problems, and each paradigm serves best for programming in particular application areas. Real-world problems, however, are often best implemented by a combination of concepts from different paradigms, because they comprise aspects from several realms, and this combination is more comfortably realized using multiparadigm programming languages. This book deals with the theory and practice of multiparadigm constraint programming languages. The author first... more...
