So I'm confused ... help appreciated.[[User:Linas|linas]] ([[User talk:Linas|talk]]) 18:21, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

"Constraint programming began with constraint logic programming, which embeds constraints into a logic program. This variant of logic programming is due to Jaffar and Lassez, who extended in 1987 a specific class of constraints that were introduced in Prolog II."

This claim is wrong. Many constraint programming papers were published before, e.g., Ugo Montanari: Networks of constraints: Fundamental properties and applications to picture processing. Inf. Sci. 7: 95-132, '''1974'''. Furthermore, ALICE (J.-L. Laurière) was the first constraint programming language, in '''1976''' !
