Abstract. In this paper we present a novel approach to solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems whose constraint graphs are highly clustered and the graph of clusters is close to b...
Constraint relaxation is a frequently used technique for managing over-determined constraint satisfaction problems. A problem in constraint relaxation is the selection of the appr...

Conditional symmetry arises in a sub-problem of a constraint satisfaction problem, where the sub-problem satisfies some condition under which additional symetries hold. Typically...

In this paper we derive a generic form of structural decomposition for the constraint satisfaction problem, which we call a guarded decomposition. We show that many existing decom...
We study the complexity of the model checking problem, for fixed models A, over certain fragments L of first-order logic, obtained by restricting which of the quantifiers and boole...
