Global Search Control

(Related publications: [PUBLink] [PUBLink])

If a structural constraint becomes unsatisfied by a graph change, the global search control must ensure a correct graph structure before proceeding, as conventional constraints cannot handle inconsistent structures. Thus, the global search control always selects a structural constraint to improve the current state if there is an inconsistent structural constraint (see figure below).
