Abstract(in English) Many problems in AI can be formulated as Constraint Satisfaction Problems(CSPs). In actual problems, Constraint Optimization Problem(COP) or Constraint Satisfaction Optimization Problem (CSOP) is more important. In this paper, we present a new method for CSOP, in witch linear programming method is used. CSOP is transformed at first into a 0-1 integer linear programming problem, then it's relaxation problem is solved by simplex method. Then with using the optimal solution of this relaxation problem, a near-optimal solution of the CSOP can be obtained by a local search method. In our experiments, this method shows a good performance on CSOP, especially on loosely constrained CSOP.
