AND/OR Multi-valued Decision Diagrams for Constraint Optimization
We propose a new top down search-based algorithm for compiling AND/OR Multi-Valued Decision Diagrams (AOMDDs), as representations of the optimal set of solutions for constraint opt...

Solution Counting Algorithms for Constraint-Centered Search Heuristics
Constraints have played a central role in cp because they capture key substructures of a problem and efficiently exploit them to boost inference. This paper intends to do the same ...
