Constraints

Aims & Scope

Constraints provides a common forum for the many disciplines interested in constraint programming and constraint satisfaction and optimization, and the many application domains in which constraint technology is employed.

It covers all aspects of computing with constraints: theory and practice, algorithms and systems, reasoning and programming, logics and languages.
