jerry feinstein and david bailey of booz, allen, and hamilton are interested in any work being done in the area of constraint propagation that might be applied to inference engines. the specific interest is in the use of tight constraints and a non-optimizing, simplex-like algorithm to find a quick, "satisficing" solution in an ordered, though not necessarily numeric, problem space. this is a follow-up on the constraint propagation workshop held at the expert systems conference in avignon in april of this year. any information on current work in this area or on the use of constraint propagation in inference engines would be greatly appreciated. thank you. david bailey booz, allen, and hamilton 4330 east west highway bethesda, md 20014 (301)951-2155
