We investigate a task insertion heuristic for oversubscribed scheduling problems, max-availability, that uses a simple estimate of resource contention to assign tasks to intervals...
This paper addresses a fundamental and challenging problem with broad applications: efficient processing of region-based promotion queries, i.e., to discover the top-k most inter...
The paper explores the power of two systematic Branch and Bound search algorithms that exploit partition-based heuristics, BBBT (a new algorithm for which the heuristic informatio...
Dynamic Backtracking (DBT) is a well known algorithm for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems. In DBT, variables are allowed to keep their assignment during backjump, if they a...

A conflict clause represents a backtracking solver’s analysis of why a conflict occurred. This analysis can be used to further prune the search space and to direct the search h...
