We explore the problem of reconstructing an image from a bag of square, non-overlapping image patches, the jigsaw puzzle problem. Completing jigsaw puzzles is challenging and requ...
The problem of designing workforce shifts and break patterns is a relevant employee scheduling problem that arises in many contexts, especially in service industries. The issue is ...
In constraint logic programming, proof procedures for Horn clauses are enhanced with an interface to efficient constraint solvers. In this paper we show how to incorporate constra...
This paper introduces a new CNF encoding of pseudo-Boolean constraints, which allows unit propagation to maintain generalized arc consistency. In the worst case, the size of the p...
A team of constraint agents with diverse viewpoints canfind a solution to a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) whenthe individual agents have an incomplete viewof the problem.I...
