Abstract. We describe the constraint programming interface of the optimization modeling systems AIMMS. First, we present the modeling language for basic constraint programming and advanced scheduling constructs, and specify how search can be controlled. Then we provide three example applications that illustrate how AIMMS can be used for developing constraint programming applications.
