چکیده

The CP-INSIDE project seeks to make constraint programming technology more accessible. In particular, it aims to facilitate the embedding of CP technology in business applications, and its integration with familiar software tools. A major objective of the CP-INSIDE project is to allow business developers to create constraint-based decision engines utilizing the power of CP technology in a vendor-neutral way. CP-INSIDE simplifies the development of specialized decision engines making them independent of the underlying generic CP solvers. There have already been several attempts to unify constraint programming languages (for instance, [1–3]) that directly or indirectly contributed to the same objective. CP-INSIDE is based on the following principles:

Embedding Decision Trees and Random Forests in Constraint Programming

In past papers, we have introduced Empirical Model Learning (EML) as a method to enable Combinatorial Optimization on real world systems that are impervious to classical modeling approaches. The core idea in EML consists in embedding a Machine Learning model in a traditional combinatorial model. So far, the method has been demonstrated by using Neural Networks and Constraint Programming (CP). I...

Representing and Solving Rule-Based Decision Models with Constraint Solvers

This paper describes how constraint solvers could serve as rule engines in the context of modern business decision management systems. Decision models are based on rule families oriented to business users and frequently represented as Excel decision tables. The proposed approach uses exactly the same representation of decision models as a rule engine. The developed Rule Solver loads a decision ...

Modeling Constraint Programs with Software Technology Standards

There is no unified modeling standard available to the CP community, so constraint programs can not be developed independently from the used CP library. Without such standard, CP applications are difficult to develop and to maintain as also no substantial tool support can be enabled to help here. This hinders a wider use in business. This paper targets platform independent modeling of constrain...

Castor : a constraint-based SPARQL engine with active filter processing. (Castor : un moteur SPARQL basé sur les contraintes avec exploitation actif de filtres)

SPARQL is the standard query language for graphs of data in the Semantic Web. Evaluating queries is closely related to graph matching problems, and has been shown to be NP-hard. State-of-the-art SPARQL engines solve queries with traditional relational database technology. Such an approach works well for simple queries that provide a clearly de ned starting point in the graph. However, queries e...
