Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide constraint based software systems and methods. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of controlling the operation of system software comprising generating a plurality of domain level constraints, translating the plurality of domain level constraints into system level constraints, and controlling a system using the system level constraints. System level software may respond rapidly to changing conditions through modification of domain level constraints and translation of domain level constraints into system level constraints. Preprocessing of raw data from RFID or sensors may trigger incidents that automatically trigger the modification of domain level constraints, thereby changing the system level software automatically in response to changes in the operational environment.
