Abstract. We define an abstract pebble game that provides game interpretations for essentially all known consistency algorithms for constraint satisfaction problems including arc-...
Abstract. We study two natural models of randomly generated constraint satisfaction problems. We determine how quickly the domain size must grow with n to ensure that these models ...
Two methods are described for enhancing performance of branch and bound methods for overconstrained CSPS. These methods improve either the upper or lower bound, respectively, duri...
A temporal constraint language is a set of relations that has a first-order definition in (Q, <), the dense linear order of the rational numbers. We present a complete comple...
Constraint programming is rapidly becoming the technology of choice for modelling and solving complex combinatorial problems. However, users of this technology need significant ex...
