چکیده

Constraint Programming is roughly a new software technology introduced by Jaffar and Lassez in 1987 for description and effective solving of large, particularly combinatorial, problems especially in areas of planning and scheduling. In the following we define three problems for constraint solving from the domain of electrical networks; based on them we define 43 related problems. For the defined set of problems we benchmarked five systems: ILOG OPL, AMPL, GAMS, Mathematica and UniCalc. As expected some of the systems performed very well for some problems while others performed very well on others.

Solving Constraint Satisfaction Puzzles with Constraint Programming

Constraint Programming (CP) is a powerful paradigm for solving Combinatorial Problems (generally issued from Decision Making). In CP, Enumeration Strategies are crucial for resolution performances. In this work, we model the known benchmark problems Latin Square, Magic Square and Sudoku as a Constraint Satisfaction Problems. We solve them with Constraint Programming comparing the performance of...

Solving Fractional Programming Problems based on Swarm Intelligence

This paper presents a new approach to solve Fractional Programming Problems (FPPs) based on two different Swarm Intelligence (SI) algorithms. The two algorithms are: Particle Swarm Optimization, and Firefly Algorithm. The two algorithms are tested using several FPP benchmark examples and two selected industrial applications. The test aims to prove the capability of the SI algorithms to s...

An Efficient Library for Solving CSP with Local Search

In the last years, the application of local search techniques for constraint solving started to raise some interest in the Constraint Programming community, We proposed some years ago a domain-independent local search method called Adaptive Search for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) [1]. This method has now been fully re-implemented as a C-based framework library available as fre...

A New Method for Solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems

Many important problems in Artificial Intelligence can be defined as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). These types of problems are defined by a limited set of variables, each having a limited domain and a number of Constraints on the values of those variables (these problems are also called Consistent Labeling Problems (CLP), in which “Labeling means assigning a value to a variable.) Solu...
