Constraint programming provides a declarative approach to solving combinatorial (optimization) problems. The user just states the problem as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP)...
We present a new formulation of distributed task assignment, called Generalized Mutual Assignment Problem (GMAP), which is derived from an NP-hard combinatorial optimization probl...
This paper presents DisAC-9, the first optimal distributed algorithm performing the arc-consistency of a constraint network. Our method is optimal according to the number of messa...
Recently published research indicates that a vertex-labeling algorithm based on dynamic-programming concepts is the most efficient procedure available for solving constrained shor...

We present a method for finding optimal partial solutions to overconstrained instances of the Disjunctive Temporal Problems (DTP). The solutions are optimal in that they satisfy ...
