When a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) admits no solution, most current solvers express that the whole search space has been explored unsuccessfully but do not exhibit which...
Local search algorithms have been very successful for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). However, a major weakness has been that local search is unable to detect unso...
Abstract. We introduce a new conceptual model for representing and designing Stochastic Local Search (SLS) algorithms for the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT). Our model...
Abstract. We present an algorithmic framework for integrating solution methods that is based on search, inference, and relaxation and their interactions. We show that the following...
Local search techniques have attracted considerable interest in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community since the development of GSAT [9] and the min-conflicts heuristic [5] ...
