Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a popular framework for cooperative multi-agent decision making. DCOP is NPhard, so an important line of work focuses on developing f...

We present in this paper a hybrid planning system which combines constraint satisfaction techniques and planning heuristics to produce optimal sequential plans. It integrates its ...
This paper aims to show that Constraint Programming can be an efficient technique to solve a well-known combinatorial optimization problem: the search for a maximum clique in a gra...
This paper considers strategies for external memory based optimal planning. An external breadth-first search exploration algorithm is devised that is guaranteed to find the costop...
Many instances of NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently if the treewidth of their corresponding graph is small. Finding the optimal tree decompositions is an NP-hard problem a...
