Classical methods for solving numerical CSPs are based on a branch and prune algorithm, a dichotomic enumeration process interleaved with a consistency filtering algorithm. In man...
In constraint satisfaction, basic inferences rely on some properties of constraint networks, called consistencies, that allow the identification of inconsistent instantiations (als...
Freuder and Elfe (1996) introduced Neighborhood Inverse Consistency (NIC) for binary CSPs. In this paper, we introduce RNIC, the extension of NIC to nonbinary CSPs, and describe a...

Given a graph G, the Shortest Capacitated Paths Problem (SCPP) consists of determining a set of paths of least total length, linking given pairs of vertices in G, and satisfying c...
Semantics can be integrated in to search processing during both document analysis and querying stages. We describe a system that incorporates both, semantic annotations of Wikipedi...
