The two most popular backtrack algorithms for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) are Forward Checking (FC) and Maintaining Arc Consistency (MAC). MAC maintains full ar...
We present a new probabilistic framework for finding likely variable assignments in difficult constraint satisfaction problems. Finding such assignments is key to efficient sea...

Integration of explanations into a CSP solver is a technique addressing difficult question “why my problem has no solution”. Moreover, explanations together with advanced searc...
Abstract. Among backtracking based algorithms for constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), algorithms employing constraint propagation, like forward checking (FC) and MAC, have had...
This paper presents new look-ahead schemes for backtracking search when solving constraint satisfaction problems. The look-ahead schemes compute a heuristic for value ordering and...
