In this paper, we show that there is a close relation between consistency in a constraint network and set intersection. A proof schema is provided as a generic way to obtain consi...

Constraint networks have been shown to be useful in formulating such diverse problems as scene labeling, natural language parsing, and temporal reasoning. Given a constraint netwo...

We study local interchangeability of values in constraint networks based on a new approach where a single value in the domain of a variable can be treated as a combination of &quo...

Consistencies are properties of Constraint Networks (CNs) that can be exploited in order to make inferences. When a significant amount of such inferences can be performed, CNs ar...

Abstract. We address the problem of extracting Minimal Unsatisfiable Cores (MUCs) from constraint networks. This computationally hard problem has a practical interest in many appli...

In constraint satisfaction, basic inferences rely on some properties of constraint networks, called consistencies, that allow the identification of inconsistent instantiations (als...
