Abstract :
Combinatorial search problems are ubiquitous in computer science and appears in many application areas, including operations research, hardware design, computational geometry, and finance. I take the position that constraint programming languages will play an increasingly important role in the development of these applications. The basic motivation behind these languages is to support well established paradigms and constraint solving techniques inside programming languages to: reduce the development time of these applications significantly; and preserve most of the efficiency of specialized algorithms
