Description

See also:

Constraints Archive - Holds comp.constraints FAQ, pages of constraint-related pointers, source code for various systems, benchmarks, directory of people interested in constraints, constraint bibliographies, collection of online papers, links. Clearly the product of much work.
A Differential Approach to Graphical Interaction - The ad hoc manner in which direct manipulation interfaces have been designed and implemented restricts the types of interactive controls. This dissertation presents a new approach for a systematic method to implement flexible, combinable interactive controls.
Book: Foundations of Constraint Satisfaction - Description of book, Academic Press, release 1993: programs from book.
Book: Programming with Constraints: an Introduction - Description of book, MIT Press, release March 1998: programs from book, slides for courses for use with book.
Brandeis Interval Arithmetic Constraint Solver - Java applet that solves non-linear real arithmetic constraints.
Cassowary - Incremental constraint solving toolkit, efficiently solves systems of linear equalities, inequalities. Constraints can be requirements or preferences. Client code specifies constraints to maintain, and the solver updates constrained variables to have values that satisfy the constraints.
Constraint Handling Rules: CHR - High-level programming language to write constraint systems; makes it easy to define constraint reasoning: simplification and propagation, and incremental solving (satisfaction) of constraints. Run and test CHR online; do a demo, try it now.
Constraints for the Web - Constraints can specify desired layout of web documents, and behavior of embedded applets: 2 system architectures where author and viewer can make layout constraints, needed and optional. Final appearance of page comes from negotiation between author and viewer, via solving all the constraints.
Constraints: An International Journal - Covering all aspects of computing with constraints; on paper or online; fee required.
DeltaBlue Code Archive - For incremental dataflow constraint solver, implemented in varied languages, each in a subdirectory named after the language: C DEC, C SUN4; Common Lisp, Smalltalk.
DeltaBlue Constraint Solver - Efficient, incremental local propagation constraint solver. Like most local propagation algorithms, it cannot accommodate cyclic constraints. University of Washington site.
DeltaBlue: Benchmarking Java with Richards and DeltaBlue - Constraint solver benchmark, in Java; about 1000 lines of code. DeltaBlue first implemented by John Maloney at University of Washington, translated to many languages: C, C++, Java; Smalltalk. [Sun Microsystems Labs]

Garnet: Brad A. Myers - Personal page of Garnet inventor and lead researcher. Describes Garnet motives, rationale.
Garnet: Multi-Garnet: Integrating Multi-Way Constraints with Garnet - ResearchIndex: Constraints provide a useful mechanism to maintain relations in user interface toolkits. Garnet is a widely used user interface toolkit with high functionality, based on one way, required constraints. Multi-Garnet extends this by adding support for multi-way constraints and hierarchies.
Gecode - Generic Constraint Development Environment. Constraint solver implemented as C++ library. Main goals: modifiability, extensibility, speed. Features: integer and set variables, large constraint set, copying-based search. [Open Source, BSD]
Guide to Constraint Programming - Online tutorial/textbook for beginners to the area of constraint programming. This area is of the set of less known software technologies, but is evolving rapidly and has a growing, significant commercial interest.
ICOT Free Software - Free constraint software developed by Institute for New Generation Computer Technology (ICOT), Japan: Constraint MGTP (CMGTP) model generation theorem prover (MGTP), MGTP-G, KLIC, some cu-Prologs, and documents. FTP site.
ILOG CP - Constraint-programming optimization engine, providing cutting-edge optimization technology and an optimization library for workforce scheduling, league scheduling, sequencing, configuration, dispatching and resource-allocation applications with logical constraints.
MAC and Combined Heuristics: Two Reasons to Forsake FC (and CBJ?) on Hard Problems - ResearchIndex: In the last 20 years, many algorithms and heuristics were developed to find solutions in constraint networks. Their number increased so much that it quickly became vital to compare performance to propose a small number of good methods.
