Many computational problems can be described in terms of restrictions imposed on possible solutions. Constraint Programming is a problem-solving technique that works by incorporating such restrictions into a programming environment. Constraint Programming draws on methods from artificial intelligence, logic programming, and operations research. It has been successfully applied in a number of fields such as scheduling, computational linguistics, and computational biology.
The aim of this course is to
To achieve these goals, the course will cover the following topics:
Besides the theoretical part, the course will put an emphasis on practical experience with state-of-the-art constraint programming systems.
You should have
