: This paper shows how the Asynchronous Backtracking (Yokoo et al., 1998) algorithm, a well known distributed constraint satisfaction algorithm, produces unnecessary messages and i...
Despite significant progress in deformable model fitting over the last decade, the problem of efficient and accurate person-independentface fitting remains a challenging probl...
Constraint Programming is an attractive approach for solving AI planning problems by modelling them as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). However, formulating effective cons...
