- IDX Variable Constraint System for AutoCAD 2007 (exe)
- The Variable Constraint System provides variational sketching functionality within AutoCAD. It enables geometric or dimensional constraints to be applied that control relationships between drawn objects. Constraints may be applied to unbound lines, circles, ellipses, arcs, splines, points, and specific geometries in two dimensions, or a two-dimensional subspace of three dimensions....

- How do I... Reject alpha characters in a SQL Server character column?
- Enforcing your data's integrity is probably the single most important issue you face when designing a database. Validating user input is one way of keeping bad data from making its way into your analyses and reports. It takes only one piece of bad data to throw everything off. It's...

- Defining SQL Server constraints with TSQL
- Take your database administration skills to the next level by learning how to define constraints with TSQL. This advanced skill shows that you don't always rely on graphical interfaces when designing database objects. All competent DBAs and developers should possess the ability to logically define constraints in the...

- Enforce Business Rules for All Your Data With Constraints
- Of the several ways to enforce business rules in the database, only constraints can guarantee that the business rules are always enforced for all the data. This paper teaches how to apply foreign key constraints with the ON UPDATE CASCADE clause to implement waterproof solutions for several common real world...

- How do I... Enforce domain integrity for SQL Server data using CHECK constraints?
- Even simple errors in data can result in huge problems. Luckily, you can eliminate at least some of those errors by using CHECK constraints to force users to enter data that meets specific conditions. Database expert Susan Harkins explains this approach and then walks through an example demonstrating how...

- CAD Tools for Early Timing Closure in System-on-a-Chip Design
- This paper introduces two new CAD tools, "March" and "MagusMCP," developed to partially automate the design of clock signal distribution for timing optimization and the timing constraints for systems-on-a-chip. March synthesizes flexible structures of clock distribution circuits based on Flip-Flop FF grouping and placement information. It also considers the placement...

- Authoring Constraint-Based Tutors in ASPIRE
- This paper presents a project the goal of which is to develop ASPIRE, a complete authoring and deployment environment for constraint-based Intelligent Tutoring Systems ITSs. ASPIRE is based on the previous work on constraint-based tutors and WETAS, the tutoring shell. ASPIRE consists of the authoring server (ASPIRE-Author), which enables domain...

- Service Selection Algorithms for Composing Complex Services With Multiple QoS Constraints
- One of the promises of the Service-Oriented Architecture SOA is that complex services can be easily composed using individual services from various service providers. Individual services can be selected and integrated either statically or dynamically based on the service functionalities and performance constraints. For many distributed applications, the runtime performance...

- Optical Network Design With Optical Constraints in IP/WDM Network
- This paper considers algorithms for the logical topology design and traffic grooming problem in WDM networks with router interface constraints as well as optical constraints. The optical constraints include restricted transmission range due to optical impairments as well as limits on the number of available wavelengths. It formulates this problem...

- TranslateSQL (zip)
- TranslateSQL is a utility for converting an Oracle schema into an SQL build script for SQL-Server. Unlike the import wizard that comes with SQL-Server, it actually converts all the indexes, primary keys, foreign constraints, and check constraints. However, it does not copy the data in each of the tables, nor...

- XML Constraints: Specification, Analysis, and Applications
- To make effective use of XML constraints it is often necessary to reason about them, both at compile-time for consistency and implication analyses and at run-time for incremental constraint checking. Since XML constraints are more complicated than relational dependencies, the static analyses of XML constraints are more intriguing than their...

- An Explanation-Based, Visual Debugger for Spreadsheet-Like Constraints
- This paper describes a domain-specific debugger for one-way constraint solvers. The debugger makes use of several new techniques. First, the debugger displays only a portion of the dataflow graph, called a constraint slice, that is directly related to an incorrect variable. This technique helps the debugger scale to a system...

- Constraint-Based Routing in the Internet: Basic Principles and Recent Research
- Novel routing paradigms based on policies, Quality of Service QoS requirements, and packet content has been proposed for the Internet over the last decade. Constraint-based routing algorithms select a routing path satisfying constraints which are either administrative-oriented policy routing, or service-oriented QoS routing. The routes, in addition to satisfying constraints,...

- Refactoring Using Type Constraints
- Type constraints express subtype-relationships between the types of program expressions that are required for type-correctness, and were originally proposed as a convenient framework for solving type checking and type inference problems. This paper shows how type constraints can be used as the basis for practical refactoring tools. In one's approach,...

- Supporting Collaboration Through Semantic-Based Workflow and Constraint Solving
- This paper describes the efforts to provide a collaborative problem solving architecture driven by semantic-based workflow orchestration and constraint problem solving. These technologies are based on a shared ontology that allows two open systems of very different natures to communicate, perform specialised tasks and achieve common goals. The paper gives...

- Hop-by-Hop Congestion Control Over a Wireless Multi-Hop Network
- This paper focuses on congestion control over multihop, wireless networks. In a wireless network, an important constraint that arises is that due to the MAC Media Access Control layer. Many wireless MACs use a time-division strategy for channel access, where, at any point in space, the physical channel can be...

When variables for a given problem include the myriad manufactured parts that make a truck engine run or the skill sets of thousands of employees, the capabilities of the human mind can be overwhelmed. Enter the IBM Research...

- Dimensioning an Inbound Call Center Using Constraint Programming
- One of the critical problems in the call center industries is the staffing problem since they must face variable demands and because staff costs represent a major part of the costs of this industry. The problem of dimensioning a call center is modeled as a particular scheduling problem, where the...
