Generating Special-Purpose Stateless Propagators for Arbitrary Constraints
Given an arbitrary constraint c on n variables with domain size d, we show how to generate a custom propagator that establishes GAC in time O(nd) by precomputing the propagation th...

Domain Consistency with Forbidden Values
This paper presents a novel domain-consistency algorithm which does not maintain supports dynamically during propagation, but rather maintain forbidden values. It introduces the op...

A Systematic Approach to MDD-Based Constraint Programming
Abstract. Fixed-width MDDs were introduced recently as a more refined alternative for the domain store to represent partial solutions to CSPs. In this work, we present a systemati...

An Integrated Business Rules and Constraints Approach to Data Centre Capacity Management
A recurring problem in data centres is that the constantly changing workload is not proportionally distributed over the available servers. Some resources may lay idle while others ...

Gaussian Adaptation as a unifying framework for continuous black-box optimization and adaptive Monte Carlo sampling
Abstract— We present a unifying framework for continuous optimization and sampling. This framework is based on Gaussian Adaptation (GaA), a search heuristic developed in the late...
