The distributed constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a general formalisation used to represent problems in distributed multiagent systems. To deal with realistic problems, mult...
Traditional global search heuristics to solve constraint satisfaction problems focus on properties of an individual variable that mandate early search attention. If, however, one ...
A key factor that can dramatically reduce the search space during constraint solving is the criterion under which the variable to be instantiated next is selected. For this purpos...
CSP search algorithms are exponential in the worst-case. A trivial upper bound on the time complexity of CSP search algorithms is O∗ (dn ), where n and d are the number of variab...
Abstract. We present a new hybrid constraint solving schema which retains some systematicity of constructive search while incorporating the heuristic guidance and lack of commitmen...
