We study the runtime distributions of backtrack procedures for propositional satisfiability and constraint satisfaction. Such procedures often exhibit a large variability in perfor...

Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DCSPs) provide a model to capture a broad range of cooperative multiagent problem solving settings. Researchers have generally propos...
We extend Tofte and Talpin's region-based model for memory management to support backtracking and cuts, which makes it suitable for use with Prolog and other logic programmin...
Satisfiability algorithms have become one of the most practical and successful approaches for solving a variety of real-world problems, including hardware verification, experime...
In recent articles we presented a general methodology for finite optimization. The new method, the Nested Partitions (NP) method, combines partitioning, random sampling, a select...
