Put some constraints into your life with JuliaCon(straints)
Jean-François BAFFIER (azzaare@github)

The freshly born JuliaConstraints GitHub organization provides a combination of packages around the theme of Constraint Programming and Combinatorial Optimization.
This talk introduces the whole ecosystem of JuliaConstraints packages and its main dependencies. It focuses on the LocalSearchSolvers.jl framework (and CBLS.jl, its interface with JuMP) for Constraint-Based Local Search. We also cover the utility packages that we hope to share with the Julia and Constraint Programming communities.
