This paper2 details the stages of building a substantial, carefully specified, fully tested and fully operational university and school timetabling system. This is reported as a c...
Abstract. Bucket elimination (BE) is an exact technique based on variable elimination, commonly used for solving constraint satisfaction problems. We consider the hybridization of ...
The class Max (r, 2)-CSP consists of constraint satisfaction problems with at most two r-valued variables per clause. For instances with n variables and m binary clauses, we presen...
Abstract. In this paper we present a novel approach to solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems whose constraint graphs are highly clustered and the graph of clusters is close to b...
Abstract. We present a theoretical study on the idea of using mathematical programming relaxations for filtering binary constraint satisfaction problems. We introduce the consisten...

We describe some new propagators for breaking symmetries in constraint satisfaction problems. We also introduce symmetry breaking constraints to deal with symmetries acting simulta...
Abstract. We extend the common depth-first backtrack search for constraint satisfaction problems with randomized variable and value selection. The resulting methods are applied to ...
Abstract. Constraint Satisfaction Problems and Propositional Satisfiability, are frameworks widely used to represent and solve combinatorial problems. A concept of primary importan...
We study the definability of constraint satisfaction problems (CSP) in various fixed-point and infinitary logics. We show that testing the solvability of systems of equations over...
Combinatorial optimization problems expressed as Boolean constraint satisfaction problems (BCSPs) arise in several contexts, ranging from the classical unate set-packing problems ...
