Exploiting Past and Future: Pruning by Inconsistent Partial State Dominance
It has recently been shown, for the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP), that the state associated with a node of the search tree built by a backtracking algorithm can be exploit...

Dynamic Management of Heuristics for Solving Structured CSPs
Abstract. This paper deals with the problem of solving efficiently structured CSPs. It is well known that (hyper)tree-decompositions offer the best approaches from a theoretical v...

Tradeoffs in the Complexity of Backdoor Detection
Abstract There has been considerable interest in the identification of structural properties of combinatorial problems that lead to efficient algorithms for solving them. Some of...

A Compression Algorithm for Large Arity Extensional Constraints
We present an algorithm for compressing table constraints representing allowed or disallowed tuples. This type of constraint is used for example in configuration problems, where t...

Uncertainty in Bipolar Preference Problems
Preferences and uncertainty are common in many real-life problems. In this paper, we focus on bipolar preferences and on uncertainty modelled via uncontrollable variables. However,...

Path Consistency by Dual Consistency
Dual Consistency (DC) is a property of Constraint Networks (CNs) which is equivalent, in its unrestricted form, to Path Consistency (PC). The principle is to perform successive sin...

Propagation = Lazy Clause Generation
Finite domain propagation solvers effectively represent the possible values of variables by a set of choices which can be naturally modelled as Boolean variables. In this paper we...

A Constraint Store Based on Multivalued Decision Diagrams
The typical constraint store transmits a limited amount of information because it consists only of variable domains. We propose a richer constraint store in the form of a limited-w...

An LP-Based Heuristic for Optimal Planning
Abstract. One of the most successful approaches in automated planning is to use heuristic state-space search. A popular heuristic that is used by a number of state-space planners i...
