This paper relates our experience in integrating constraint resolution into an object-oriented deductive system. We motivate this work by showing that disjunctive information and global constraints fit naturally in an object-oriented model and are actually necessary to perform common tasks. We identify three difficulties in developing such an extended object-oriented system (namely, compilation, domain reduction, and heuristics) and propose a solution for each. We provide a formal semantics and… CONTINUE READING
