Abstract. A positive temporal template (or a positive temporal constraint language) is a relational structure whose relations can be defined over countable dense linear order witho...
Backbone variables have the same assignment in all solutions to a given constraint satisfaction problem; more generally, bias represents the proportion of solutions that assign a v...

The Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) framework allows users to define problems in a declarative way, quite independently from the solving process. However, when the problem i...

We deal with the search process of the GraphPlan algorithm in this paper. We concentrate on a problem of finding supports for a sub-goal which arises during the search. We model t...
Abstract. This paper considers the automatic generation of architectural tests (ATGP), a fundamental problem in processor validation. ATGPs are complex conditional constraint satis...

This paper develops two new algorithms for solving a finite constraint satisfaction problem (FCSP) in parallel. In particular, we give a parallel algorithm for the EREW PRAM model...
Abstract. Thanks to its extended expressiveness, the quantified constraint satisfaction problem (QCSP) can be used to model problems that are difficult to express in the standard C...
Abstract. In the last decades, the Satisfiability and Constraint Satisfaction Problem frameworks were extended to integrate aspects such as uncertainties, partial observabilities, ...
The graph isomorphism problem consists in deciding if two given graphs have an identical structure. This problem can be modeled as a constraint satisfaction problem in a very strai...
: We show that estimating the complexity (mean and distribution) of the instances of a fixed size Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) can be very hard. We deal with the main two ...
