Constraint Satisfaction Problems allow one to expressively model problems. On the other hand, propositional satisfiability problem (SAT) solvers can handle huge SAT instances. We thus present a technique to expressively model set constraint problems and to encode them automatically into SAT instances. Our technique is expressive and less error-prone. We apply it to the Social Golfer Problem and to symmetry breaking of the problem.
