Enhancements of Branch and Bound Methods for the Maximal Constraint Satisfaction Problem
Two methods are described for enhancing performance of branch and bound methods for overconstrained CSPS. These methods improve either the upper or lower bound, respectively, duri...

Learning to Identify Global Bottlenecks in Constraint Satisfaction Search
Using information from failures to guide subsequent search is an important technique for solving combinatorial problems in domains such as boolean satisfiability (SAT) and constr...

Ants can solve constraint satisfaction problems
In this paper, we describe a new incomplete approach for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) based on the ant colony optimization (ACO) metaheuristic. The idea is to us...

Finding Crucial Subproblems to Focus Global Search
Traditional global search heuristics to solve constraint satisfaction problems focus on properties of an individual variable that mandate early search attention. If, however, one ...

The Goldilocks Problem
A lot of work in constraint satisfaction has been focused on finding solutions to difficult problems. Many real life problems however, while not extremely complicated, have a huge...
