The surprisingly good performance of modern satisfiability (SAT) solvers is usually explained by the existence of a certain "hidden structure" in real-world instances. W...
For the last ten years, a significant amount of work in the constraint community has been devoted to the improvement of complete methods for solving soft constraints networks. We ...

Abstract. This paper contains an experimental study of the impact of the construction strategy of reduced, ordered binary decision diagrams (ROBDDs) on the average-case computation...
Abstract. A promising approach for model counting was recently introduced, which in theory requires the use of large random xor or parity constraints to obtain near-exact counts of...
The survey propagation (SP) algorithm has been shown to work well on large instances of the random 3-SAT problem near its phase transition. It was shown that SP estimates marginal...
