Preface This volume contains the selected technical papers from the 2009 ERCIM Workshop on Constraint Solving and Constraint Logic Programming held on June 15th– 17th, 2009 at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in Barcelona, Spain. This event was run on behalf of the ERCIM Working Group on Constraints1 . ERCIM, the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics, aims to foster collaborative work within the European research community and to increase co-operation with European industry. Leading research institutes from 18 European countries are members of ERCIM. The ERCIM Constraints working group aims to bring together ERCIM researchers that are involved in research on the subject of constraint programming and related areas. Constraints have recently emerged as a research area that combines researchers fro
