This paper studies a version of the job shop scheduling problem in which some operations have to be scheduled within non-relaxable time windows i.e. earliest latest possible start...
Constraint satisfaction and propositional satisfiability problems are often solved using backtracking search. Previous studies have shown that portfolios of backtracking algorith...
Abstract. Local search algorithms have been very successful for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). However, a major weakness has been that local search is unable to de...
Abstract. We extend the common depth-first backtrack search for constraint satisfaction problems with randomized variable and value selection. The resulting methods are applied to ...
Distributed constraint satisfaction, in its most general acceptation, involves a collection of agents solving local constraint satisfaction subproblems, and a communication protoco...
