Ant Colony Optimization and Constraint Programming
Wiley 2013; US$ 145.00Ant colony optimization is a metaheuristic which has been successfully applied to a wide range of combinatorial optimization problems. The author describes this metaheuristic and studies its efficiency for solving some hard combinatorial problems, with a specific focus on constraint programming. The text is organized into three parts. The first part... more...
A Class of Algorithms for Distributed Constraint Optimization
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 Handling Rules
Cambridge University Press 2009; US$ 82.00The definitive reference on Constraint Handling Rules, from the creator of the language. more...
Constraint Logic Programming using Eclipse
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 73.00This textbook offers an introduction to the Eclipse system and a guide to problem-solving for students and practitioners alike. more...
Constraint Networks
Wiley 2010; US$ 270.00A 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... more...
Constraint Processing
Elsevier Science 2003; US$ 97.95Constraint 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... more...
Einführung in die Constraint-Programmierung
Springer 2007; US$ 39.99Die Constraint-Programmierung liefert Methoden zur effizienten Modellierung von Systemen oder zur Lsung von Problemstellungen, bei denen nur unvollstndige Informationen vorliegen (z.B. Entscheidungssysteme, Optimierungsprobleme, Analyse stochastischer Prozesse), sowie zur Lsung kombinatorischer Probleme (Ressourcenmanagement) oder auch bei der Entwicklung... more...
Handbook of Constraint Programming
Elsevier Science 2006; US$ 205.00Constraint 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,... more...
Multiparadigm Constraint Programming Languages
Springer 2011; US$ 79.99Programming 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... more...
Principles of Constraint Programming
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 46.00Methods 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... more...
