MiniZinc is a high-level modeling language for constraint satisfaction, optimization, and related problems. It allows researchers and students to specify their problem in a declarative way, while also providing a finite code generator that translates the model into a constraint programming solver.
Origins of MiniZinc
MiniZinc was first developed in 2003 by a team of researchers at the University of Melbourne, Australia. It was designed as a high-level modeling language that would make it easier for users to express their models without having to worry about the low-level details of constraint programming.
