Solving linear and one-way constraints for web document layout

Published: 13 March 2005 Publication History

Abstract

The development of information systems such as Web browsers based on open standards is becoming more and more important. To clearly formalize and appropriately implement document layout methods for Web browsers, researchers have proposed an approach that uses constraint programming and solving. However, it is still difficult for existing standard constraint solving techniques to handle Web document layout methods. To tackle this problem, we propose a new algorithm called DuPlex that solves hybrid systems of linear constraints and one-way constraints.
