Models and Tools for Improving Efficiency in Constraint Logic Programming

Journal Title: Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services - Year 2011, Vol 5, Issue 1

Abstract

Constraint Satisfaction Problems typically exhibit strong combinatorial explosion. In this paper we present some models and techniques aimed at improving efficiency in Constraint Logic Programming. A hypergraph model of constraints is presented and an outline of strategy planning approach focused on entropy minimization is put forward. An example cryptoaritmetic problem is explored in order to explain the proposed approach.
