When the search for a solution to a constraint satisfaction problem backtracks, it is not usually worthwhile to remember the assignment that failed, because the same assignment wil...
Power consumption is a critical issue in interconnection network design, driven by power-related design constraints, such as thermal and power delivery design. Usually, off-line w...
Abstract. SAT Modulo Theories (SMT) consists of deciding the satisfiability of a formula with respect to a decidable background theory, such as linear integer arithmetic, bit-vect...
We present a new heuristic approach for maximal constraint satisfaction of overconstrained problems (MAX-CSP). This approach is based on a formulation of CSP as an optimization pro...
Abstract. Scheduling meetings is generally difficult in that it attempts to satisfy the preferences of all participants. However, all participants can agree to a schedule in which...
