Conjure revisited: Towards automated constraint modelling
arXiv preprint arXiv:1109.1774, 2011•arxiv.org
Automating the constraint modelling process is one of the key challenges facing the
constraints field, and one of the principal obstacles preventing widespread adoption of
constraint solving. This paper focuses on the refinement-based approach to automated
modelling, where a user specifies a problem in an abstract constraint specification language
and it is then automatically refined into a constraint model. In particular, we revisit the

This paper focuses on the refinement-based approach to automated modelling, where a user specifies a problem in an abstract constraint specification language and it is then automatically refined into a constraint model. In particular, we revisit the Conjure system that first appeared in prototype form in 2005 and present a new implementation with a much greater coverage of the specification language Essence.
