Preprocessing QBF
In this paper we investigate the use of preprocessing when solving Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF). Many different problems can be efficiently encoded as QBF instances, and there...

Constraint Satisfaction with Bounded Treewidth Revisited
Abstract. The constraint satisfaction problem can be solved in polynomial time for instances where certain parameters (e.g., the treewidth of primal graphs) are bounded. However, t...

Mini-bucket Elimination with Bucket Propagation
Many important combinatorial optimization problems can be expressed as constraint satisfaction problems with soft constraints. When problems are too difficult to be solved exactly,...

Dynamic Lex Constraints
Many symmetry breaking methods have been proposed so far. Previous works have shown that these methods could be combined together under some conditions. We use a different angle :...

Decomposition of Multi-operator Queries on Semiring-Based Graphical Models
Abstract. In the last decades, the Satisfiability and Constraint Satisfaction Problem frameworks were extended to integrate aspects such as uncertainties, partial observabilities, ...

Towards an Efficient SAT Encoding for Temporal Reasoning
Abstract. In this paper, we investigate how an IA network can be effectively encoded into the SAT domain. We propose two basic approaches to modelling an IA network as a CSP: one r...

Randomization in Constraint Programming for Airline Planning
Abstract. We extend the common depth-first backtrack search for constraint satisfaction problems with randomized variable and value selection. The resulting methods are applied to ...

When Interval Analysis Helps Inter-block Backtracking
Inter-block backtracking (IBB) computes all the solutions of sparse systems of non-linear equations over the reals. This algorithm, introduced in 1998 by Bliek et al., handles a sy...

A Structural Characterization of Temporal Dynamic Controllability
An important issue for temporal planners is the ability to handle temporal uncertainty. Recent papers have addressed the question of how to tell whether a temporal network is Dynam...
