Artificial IntelligenceConsistency in networks of relations
2,430 Citations1977Alan K. Mackworth
The primary aim is to provide an accessible, unified framework, within which to present the algorithms including a new path consistency algorithm, to discuss their relationships and the may applications, both realized and potential of network consistency algorithms.
Information SciencesNetworks of constraints: Fundamental properties and applications to picture processing
1,248 Citations1974Ugo Montanari
Constraints are treated algebraically, and the solution of a system of linear equations in this algebra provides an approximation of the minimal network, and this solution is proved exact in special cases, e.g., for tree-like and series-parallel networks and for classes of relations for which a distributive property holds.

The Journal of Logic ProgrammingCompiling constraints in clp(FD)
203 Citations1996Philippe Codognet, Daniel Díaz
The clp(FD) system is a Constraint Logic Programming language with finite domain constraints based on the use of a single primitive constraint X in r that embeds the core propagation mechanism and can be naturally enhanced with various new constraints such as constructive disjunction, boolean constraints, non-linear constraints and symbolic constraints.

183 Citations2005Annika Gottberg, Joe Morris +3 more
An analytical framework was developed to explain the relationships between the drivers for eco-design and the role of policies to promote EPR and it seems a mix of policy measures is required rather than reliance on economic instruments alone.

A new view of these systems is proposed, based on a particular definition of parallelism, that a large number of the actual systems and models can be explained through the application of only a few basic principies: determinism, non-failure, independence, granularity, etc.

27 Citations2007Raymond Houé Ngouna, Bernard Grabot
A prototype of such a system is described: the information to be added to the product model is first specified and it is shown how the knowledge contained in standards and norms in textual form can be translated into constraints which can be propagated through the product structure in order to identify the inconsistencies between the present design and a given norm.
