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....

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...

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...

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...

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...

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,...
