Abstract

Knowledge-based configuration tasks are often solved on the basis of constraint programming. Using constraint programming requires technical expertise regarding problem specification and – to some extent – also solution search, for example, in terms of being confronted with the definition of search heuristics. In this paper, we show how to apply database queries to solve knowledge-based configuration tasks. Using this approach, configuration tasks can be defined and solved without the need of integrating a potentially new technology, but rather stick with technical infrastructures (i.e., relational databases) already existing in the company.
