CONTRAINTES: Constraint Programming

INRIA centre Paris-Rocquencourt building 8, France


The "Contraintes" project-team investigates  the design, implementation and logical foundations of constraint programming languages. The main application domains investigated are combinatorial optimization problems and computational systems biology.

Our activity reports are available from the official INRIA Web page of Contraintes.

Contraintes is associated to the Doctorate school Sciences Mathématiques de Paris Centre and to the interdisciplinary Doctorate school Frontières du Vivant of Paris.

News : Internships / stages
News : Biocham 2.8 is now available including a new method for parameter optimization w.r.t. temporal logic specification
News : For its first participation, the French team with Aurélien Rizk was finalist and won the first prize of foundational research at the iGEM 2007 competition organised by the MIT on synthetic biology using BIOCHAM.
