However most constraint solvers are designed to be general and monolithic, leading to problems with efficiency, scalability and extensibility. We propose a novel, architecture-driven constraint solver generation framework called Dominion to tackle these issues. For any given problem, Dominion generates a lean and efficient solver tailored to that problem. In this paper, we outline the Dominion approach and its implications for software architecture specification of the solver.}, booktitle = {9th {Working} {IEEE}/{IFIP} {Conference} on {Software} {Architecture}}, author = {Balasubramaniam, Dharini and de Silva, Lakshitha and Jefferson, Christopher A. and Kotthoff, Lars and Miguel, Ian and Nightingale, Peter}, month = jun, year = {2011}, pages = {228--231}, month_numeric = {6} }
