Abstract
Streamlined constraint reasoning is the addition of uninferred constraints to a constraint model to reduce the search space, while retaining at least one solution. Previously it has been established that it is possible to generate streamliners automatically from abstract constraint specifications in Essence and that effective combinations of streamliners can allow instances of much larger scale to be solved. A shortcoming of the previous approach was the crude exploration of the power set of all combinations using depth and breadth first search. We present a new approach based on Monte Carlo search over the lattice of streamlined models, which efficiently identifies effective streamliner combinations.
