We propose ALLDIFFPREC, a new global constraint that combines together an ALLDIFFERENT constraint with precedence constraints that strictly order given pairs of variables. We ident...

Code optimization and high level synthesis can be posed as constraint satisfaction and optimization problems, such as graph coloring used in register allocation. Graph coloring is...

This paper introduces the Increasing Nvalue constraint, which restricts the number of distinct values assigned to a sequence of variables so that each variable in the sequence is l...

The paper introduces value precedence on integer and set sequences. A useful application of the notion is in breaking symmetries of indistinguishable values, an important class of ...
We introduce Multi-Trials, a new technique for symmetry breaking for distributed algorithms and apply it to various problems in general graphs. For instance, we present three rand...
