The techniques for making decisions, i.e., branching, play a central role in complete methods for solving structured CSP instances. In practice, there are cases when SAT solvers be...
Dual Consistency (DC) is a property of Constraint Networks (CNs) which is equivalent, in its unrestricted form, to Path Consistency (PC). The principle is to perform successive sin...
This paper discusses and compares several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity and QoS constraints. The client requests are known beforehand, wh...
