The concept of consistency has pervaded studies of the constraint satisfaction problem. We introduce two concepts, which are inspired by consistency, for the more general framewor...
A novel combination of genetic algorithms and constraint satisfaction modelling for the solution of two and multi-layer over-thecell channel routing problems is presented. The two ...
We present the results of an empirical study of several constraint satisfaction search algorithms and heuristics. Using a random problem generator that allows us to create instanc...
Abstract. A framework for cooperative goal-satisfaction in large-scale MultiAgent Systems (MAS) is presented in this paper. This is performed by demonstrating the applicability of ...
We show that a resealed constrainedness parameter provides the basis for accurate numerical models of search cost for both backtracking and local search algorithms. In the past, t...
