Abstract. In constraint networks, the efficiency of a search algorithm is strongly related to the local consistency maintained during search. For a long time, it has been consider...
Real-life problems present several kinds of preferences. We focus on problems with both positive and negative preferences, that we call bipolar preference problems. Although seemin...

Abstract. Table constraints play an important role within constraint programming. Recently, many schemes or algorithms have been proposed to propagate table constraints or/and to c...
The AC-3 algorithm is a basic and widely used arc consistency enforcing algorithm in Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). Its strength lies in that it is simple, empirically ef...
Constraint satisfaction consistency preprocessing methods are used to reduce search e ort. Time and especially space costs limit the amount of preprocessing that will be cost e ec...
