A promising approach to customize the delivery of multimedia content is based on methods for compiling content packages from repositories of existing media assets, such as text paragraphs and images. Since the authors of media assets may have specified layout preferences for their assets neither knowing in which package these assets eventually will occur, nor knowing the personal layout preferences of all potential customers, layout conflicts, such as incompatible style attributes, are preprogrammed when packages are compiled on the fly by an automated system. In this contribution we present a constraint-based approach for resolving layout conflicts in automatically compiled content packages. Depending on the number and nature of the layout constraints to be considered, many eligible layout styles may exist. In fact, the exploration of a style solution space creates a problem on its own. Therefore, we are also investigating clustering and visualization techniques to assist a system administrator in the exploration of the solution space. The work has been conducted in the context of the EU funded project IMAGEN which aims at the development of an integrated set of tools for the customized publication and distribution of multimedia content.
