Abstract
Constraint evaluation system, expert system, and constraint evaluation method for evaluating an allocation proposal, in which the job combinations are selected for individual evaluation to test if each combination is consistent with a constraint. This shows whether there is a restriction in which one of the jobs of a combination is determined uniquely by the other job of the combination. When a restriction is detected, the current value, which has the restriction, is replaced with the restricted value of the job which is uniquely determined by a one-to-one dependency relation. After the individual evaluation associated with the restricted job is performed, a job other than the other job of the combination is selected.
