This work introduces a combinatorial optimization problem called Mars Express Memory Dumping Problem (Mex-Mdp), which arises in the European Space Agency program Mars Express. It c...
How do we identify inconsistent CSPs quickly? This paper presents relaxation as one possible method; showing how we can generate relaxed CSPs which are easier to prove inconsistent...

Abstract. This paper offers a critique of the framework of Constraint Satisfaction Problems. While this framework has been successful in studying search techniques, and has inspire...
Abstract. Constraint programming offers powerful problem solving capabilities, but experienced and skilled developers are needed to maximise the benefits it offers. We introduce...

Arc consistency plays a central role in solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems. This is the reason why many algorithms have been proposed to establish it. Recently, an algorithm ...
In this paper we introduce a new method for bounding the solution to constraint optimization problems called semi-independent partitioning. We show that our method is a strict gene...
Abstract. Searching objects within a catalog is a problem of increasing importance, as the general public has access to increasing volumes of data. Constraint programming has addre...
