(More customer reviews)Unless you are deeply involved in optimization techniques, you may not have noticed subtle links between the methods of search, inference and relaxation. You may have combined two of these methods "as a trick" to achieve better performance, without noting "what exactly" you were doing. This books gives you an insight of why and how methods can be integrated. At a first level it presents a catalog of constraint patterns each "taken apart" in the context of a optimization method. But by doing so, this book achieves something deeper, it "integrates" these different methods into a single framework of thought. A very insightful and powerful concept!

This book integrates the key concepts of mathematical programming (MP) and constraint programming (CP) into a unified framework that allows them to be generalized and combined. The unification of MP and CP creates optimization methods that have much greater modeling power, increased computational speed, and a sizeable reduction computational coding. This integration along with constraint programming being incorporated into a number of programming languages, brings the field a step closer to being able to simply state a problem and having the computer solve it.
