In this paper the distributed Constraint Satisfaction Ant Algorithm (CSAA) framework is presented. It uses an ant-based system for the distributed solving of constraint satisfacti...
Harmonization with four voices is a musical problem which is subject to hard constraints, which absolutely need to be fulfilled, as well as to soft constraints, which preferably ho...
We review the many different definitions of symmetry for constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) that have appeared in the literature, and show that a symmetry can be defined in tw...
