We show how to reason about logical combinations of distance constraints on ideals and non-ideals using a novel global constraint. We evaluate our approach on both randomly generated and real-world configuration problem instances.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/15","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/0015.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/15.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/bibtex/15","volume":{"slug":"2007","title":"Proceedings of the Twentieth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2007","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/","year":2007,"location":"Hyderabad, India","dates":"","editors":"Ramon López de Mántaras","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":15,"pages":{"first":106,"last":110},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
