Abstract
A constraint solver for solving a constraint satisfaction problem model which includes at least one part-whole hierarchy assigns variables to each part of the part-whole hierarchy. The variables include at least one of selected, quantity, and relative quantity, wherein each part has a parent. The solver automatically applies at least one part-whole hierarchy constraint to the part and solves the model and generates a solution.
