Review
'... a valuable addition to the canon of CP texts. It provides a well-exampled introduction to ECLiPSe as its
CP language.' Peter J. Stuckey, Theory and Practice of Logic Programming 'The principle strengths of the book are the clarity
of the writing and the use of well chosen examples. The programs are very well written, with efficiency considerations often
subtly included. After digesting the book, and trying out examples and exercises in ECLiPSe, a reader will come away with
solid grasp of CP, and the flexibility of ECLiPSe.' Theory and Practice of Logic Programming

intro This book has a two-fold purpose. It's an introduction to constraint programming... Second, it provides
a systematic introduction to the ECLiPSe system through carefully chosen examples that guide the reader through the language,
illustrate its power and versatility, and clarify the gain achieved by this approach, which, ultimately allows the reader
to better understand the proper use of constraints in solving real-world problems.
p.105 The backtracking search is an example of a complete search. In this form of search all possible
assignments of values are explored. In the incomplete search one focusses on the most promising assignments
selected according to some heuristics. Various forms of incomplete top-down search can be described by allocating
credit to each value choice, giving more credit to more promising values.
