Although he considers other structures, Neugebauer primarily shows how constraint programming works in the computational treatment of paradigmatic phonological representations, covering grammar formalism and subphonetic acoustic modeling, knowledge representations in constraint-based grammar formalisms, elements of state tying and the role of decision trees, and the appropriateness of constraint programming for this application, including the influence of type inheritance hierarchies such as Galois lattices.
612 This complement to the proceedings for the 2006 International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming includes selected papers from a range of lectures and workshops about gathering, exploiting and unifying ideas shared by operations research, numerical analysis, symbolic computing, scientific computing, artificial intelligence and programming languages.
Ilog is the dominant player in the constraint programming side of optimization, which in turn has primarily been developed in Europe, while CPLEX enjoyed a similar position on the mathematical programming side, which is mainly a US discipline.
