A binary augmented constraint network (BACN) allows dependency relationships to be determined without solving constraints.

A solution is framed within a network of constraints.

A solution is framed within a network of constraints.

A method and system for applying constraints to a wireframe chain of curves for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is disclosed, whereby a geometric constraint network can be expanded to include chains of curves as types of wireframe entities.

In the simplest cases, the local interactions are simply compatibility/incompatibility relations and the network is a constraint network (CN).

Today there are very few ways to assess the value of a network.

Global behavior is emergent from individual agent behaviors and is achieved without central control through the imposition of global constraints on the network of an interagent invariance principle.
