A pioneering look at the fundamental role of logic in optimization and constraint satisfaction
While recent efforts to combine optimization and constraint satisfaction have received considerable attention, little has been said about using logic in optimization as the key to unifying the two fields. Logic-Based Methods for Optimization develops for the first time a comprehensive conceptual framework for integrating optimization and constraint satisfaction, then goes a step further and shows how extending logical inference to optimization allows for more powerful as well as flexible modeling and solution techniques. Designed to be easily accessible to industry professionals and academics in ... Read more

Reviews for Logic-based Methods for Optimization
"This is a book that should be widely read by graduate students and researchers in both the computer science and optimization communities." (Choice, Vol. 38, No. 7, March 2001) "Goal is to broaden the conceptual foundations of optimization to include logical and constraint based approaches to traditional optimization methods." (American Mathematical Monthly, November 2001) "The author combines a ... Read more
