Abstract:

Abstract. A general approach to specify the propagation and simpli-cation process of constraints consists of applying rules over these constraints. In this paper, we propose a method for generating propagation rules for constraints over nite domains dened extensionally by e.g. a truth table or their tuples. Using our algorithm, the user has the possibility to specify the admissible syntactic forms of the rules. The generated rules will be implemented as rules of the language Constraint Handling Rules (CHR). Furthermore, we show that our approach performs well on various examples, including Boolean constraints, three valued logic, Allen's qualitative approach to temporal logic and qualitative spatial reasoning with the Region Connection Calculus. 1
