Abstract

One strand of CP research seeks to design a small set of primitives and operators that can be used to build an appropriate algorithm for solving any given combinatorial problem. The aim is to “package” CP, simplifying its use, in contrast to current systems which offer application developers a full constraint programming language. In this talk we examine the risks of this line of research, and argue that our field is still too immature to be ready for “packaging”.
