Soft constraints based on semirings are a generalization of classical constraints, where tuples of variables' values in each soft constraint are uniquely associated to element...
To improve solution robustness, we introduce the concept of super solutions to constraint programming. An (a, b)-super solution is one in which if a variables lose their values, th...
Schaefer's theorem is a complexity classification result for so-called Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: it states that every Boolean constraint satisfaction problem ...
The algorithm presented here, BCC, is an enhancement of the well known Backtrack used to solve constraint satisfaction problems. Though most backtrack improvements rely on propaga...
Traditional global search heuristics to solve constraint satisfaction problems focus on properties of an individual variable that mandate early search attention. If, however, one ...
