Randomization in Constraint Programming for Airline Planning
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 ...

Probabilistically Estimating Backbones and Variable Bias: Experimental Overview
Backbone variables have the same assignment in all solutions to a given constraint satisfaction problem; more generally, bias represents the proportion of solutions that assign a v...

Using Expectation Maximization to Find Likely Assignments for Solving CSP's
We present a new probabilistic framework for finding likely variable assignments in difficult constraint satisfaction problems. Finding such assignments is key to efficient sea...

Mini-bucket Elimination with Bucket Propagation
Many important combinatorial optimization problems can be expressed as constraint satisfaction problems with soft constraints. When problems are too difficult to be solved exactly,...

Conditional and Composite Constraints with Preferences
Preferences in constraint problems are common but significant in many real world applications. In this paper, we extend our conditional and composite CSP (CCCSP) framework, managi...
