Constraint satisfaction is a general problem in which the goal
is to find values for a set of variables that will satisfy a
given set of constraints. It is the core of many applications
in artificial intelligence, and has found its application in
many areas, such as planning and scheduling. Because of its generality,
most AI researchers should be able to benefit from having
good knowledge of techniques in this field.
This book is the most comprehensive book on the field of constraint
satisfaction so far. It covers both the theoretical and the
implemenatation aspects of the subject. It provides a framework
for studying this field, relates different research, and resolves
ambiguity in a number of concepts and algorithms in the literature.
This book provides a solid foundation for researchers in this field.
It is also an invaluable text for graduate and research level
students in cognitive science and artificial intelligence.
