Abstract: This article introduces AJACS (Another Java Constraint Programming System), a toolkit for Concurrent Constraint programming implemented in the Java language. It comes as a successor to our previous work in implementing Constraint Programming idioms in Java, GC [5], in that it represents an attempt to deal with some of GC's inadequacies in terms of performance whilst providing a setting which is adequate to express problems in a way that can be easily solved in a parallel execution environment, as provided by a concurrent programming setting. We claim that AJACS provides a very flexible toolkit for use in general applications that may benefit from constraint programming techniques. We also claim that AJACS allows for the coding of CSP problems whose solution is amenable to a practically effortless parallelization.
