This paper presents a software tool to intuitively comprehend and analyze fuzzy constraint satisfaction problems (FCSPs) through effective visualization with animation. FCSPs are an extension of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), which are used for formulating problems in real-world information systems. Once we formulate a problem as an FCSP, it can be solved (in principle) by any existing general-purpose FCSP solvers developed so far. However, the formulation is sometimes difficult because it requires high abstraction of real-world problems and affects the performance of the solvers. The authors believe that the tool will improve this situation by increasing the visibility of the behavior of the solvers.
