We report the first evaluation of Constraint Satisfaction as a computational framework for solving closest string problems. We show that careful consideration of symbol occurrenc...
Freuder in (1991) defined interchangeability for classical Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Recently (2002), we extended the definition of interchangeability to Soft CSP...
Abstract. Variables and constraints in problem domains are often distributed. These distributed constraint satisfaction problems (DCSPs) lend themselves to multiagent solutions. Mo...
We consider worst case time bounds for NP-complete problems including 3-SAT, 3-coloring, 3-edge-coloring, and 3list-coloring. Our algorithms are based on a constraint satisfaction...
In this article, we study the quantified constraint satisfaction problem (QCSP) over infinite domains. We develop a technique called collapsibility that allows one to give strong c...
