Constraint programming (CP) is a powerful programming paradigm for
the declarativedescription and the e?ective solving of
largecombinatorialproblems.
Basedonastrongtheoreticalfoundation,itisincreasinglyattractingcommercial
interest. Since the 1990s, CP has been deployed by many industry
leaders, in particular to model heterogeneous optimization and
satisfaction problems. - amples of application domains where such
problems naturally arise, and where constraint programming has made
a valuable contribution, are scheduling, p- duction planning,
communication networks, routing, planning of satellite m- sions,
robotics, and bioinformatics. This volumecontainsthe papers
selectedfor the post-proceedingsof the13th International Workshop
on Constraint Solving and Constraint Logic Progr-
ming(CSCLP2008)heldduringJune18-20,2008inRome,Italy.Thisworkshop
was organized as the 13th meeting of the working group on
Constraints of the
EuropeanResearchConsortiumforInformaticsandMathematics(ERCIM),c-
tinuing a series of workshops organized since the creation of the
working group in 1997. A selection of papers of these annual
workshops plus some additional contributions have been published
since 2002 in a series of volumes which ill- trate the
evolutioninthe ?eld, under the title "RecentAdvances in
Constraints" in the Lecture Notes in Arti?cial Intelligence series.
Bringing artificial intelligence planning and scheduling
applications into the real world is a hard task that is receiving
more attention every day by researchers and practitioners from many
fields. In many cases, it requires the integration of several
underlying techniques like planning, scheduling, constraint
satisfaction, mixed-initiative planning and scheduling, temporal
reasoning, knowledge representation, formal models and languages,
and technological issues. Most papers included in this book are
clear examples on how to integrate several of these techniques.
Furthermore, the book also covers many interesting approaches in
application areas ranging from industrial job shop to electronic
tourism, environmental problems, virtual teaching or space
missions. This book also provides powerful techniques that allow to
build fully deployable applications to solve real problems and an
updated review of many of the most interesting areas of application
of these technologies, showing how powerful these technologies are
to overcome the expresiveness and efficiency problems of real world
problems.
