Relational databases have had great industrial success in computer science. The power of the paradigm is made clear both by its widespread adoption and by theoretical analysis. Tod...
Abstract. If a CSP instance has no solution, it contains a smaller unsolvable subproblem that makes unsolvable the whole problem. When solving such instance, instead of just return...
One approach to optimal planning is to first start with a sub- optimal solution as a seed plan, and then iteratively search for shorter plans. This approach inevitably leads to an...
Abstract. We describe a way to improve the performance of MDP planners by modifying them to use lower and upper bounds to eliminate non-optimal actions during their search. First, ...
In order to apply constraint programming to a particular domain, the problem must first be modelled as a constraint satisfaction problem. There are typically many alternative mode...
Most algorithms for computing diagnoses within a modelbased diagnosis framework are deterministic. Such algorithms guarantee soundness and completeness, but are NPhard. To overcom...

Abstract. In constraint satisfaction, local search is an incomplete method for finding a solution to a problem. Solving a general constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is known to...
