Success stories
In this section, the ACP collects success stories of using constraint based technology. We aim to make these stories appeal to a wide audience, so they are written for a general audience.
This section was started in September 2015. We will update it regularly, so make sure to come back regularly!
If you want to share your story (or know someone who has a story to share), please contact us by email at stories@a4cp.org.

CP Has Landed on the Comet
On June 13th 2015, the robot-lab Philae woke up on the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko to resume a series of experiments interrupted seven months ago. These experiments were scheduled using Constraint Programming, and researchers of the team ROC of the LAAS-CNRS lab developed
propagation algorithms
