The IBM Research Constraint Solver Models and Solves Complex Problems Through the Examination and Prioritization of Myriad Variables and Constraints
Overview Variables can be a headache. Ask any seventh grader puzzling over a2=9. When variables for a given problem include the myriad manufactured parts that make a truck engine run or the skill sets of thousands of employees, the capabilities of the human mind can be overwhelmed. Enter the IBM Research Constraint Solver. This core technology is offered by IBM On Demand Innovation Services, a partnership between IBM Research and IBM Global Business Services (GBS). The Constraint Solver models and solves problems involving thousands of variables and multi-tiered constraints. A robust general-purpose tool in use for more than a decade, it employs both deterministic and stochastic searches to develop high-level parameters for each problem. It then uses algorithms to solve them.
