Abstract
This report introduces a classification scheme for the global constraints. This classification is based on four basic ingredients from which one can generate almost all existing global constraints and come up with new interesting constraints. Global constraints are defined in a very concise way, in term of graph properties that have to hold, where the graph is a structured network of same elementary constraints. Since this classification is based on the internal structure of the global constraints it is also a strong hint for the pruning algorithms of the global constraints. Keywords Constraint, finite domain, global constraint, classification, resource constraint scheduling, graph partitioning, timetabling. 2 Table of contents Table of contents ....................................................................................................................................................... 2 Table of figures.........................................................................
