Abstract. We extend the common depth-first backtrack search for constraint satisfaction problems with randomized variable and value selection. The resulting methods are applied to ...
Constraint satisfaction research has focussed on consistency checking using k-consistency and its variations such as arc-consistency, and path-consistency. We define a new form of...
Abstract. Researchers have focused on assessing the quality of search algorithms by measuring effort, number of mistakes, runtime distributions and other characteristics. In this p...
— Scheduling by Edge Reversal (SER) is a fully distributed scheduling mechanism based on the manipulation of acyclic orientations of a graph. This work uses SER to perform constr...
Abstract. A positive temporal template (or a positive temporal constraint language) is a relational structure whose relations can be defined over countable dense linear order witho...
