An Algebraic Approach to Multi-sorted Constraints
Abstract. Most previous theoretical study of the complexity of the constraint satisfaction problem has considered a simplified version of the problem in which all variables have t...

Constraint-Based Optimization with the Minimax Decision Criterion
Abstract. In many situations, a set of hard constraints encodes the feasible configurations of some system or product over which users have preferences. We consider the problem of...

Solving Finite Domain Constraint Hierarchies by Local Consistency and Tree Search
We provide a reformulation of the constraint hierarchies (CHs) framework based on the notion of error indicators. Adapting the generalized view of local consistency in semiring-ba...

Distributed Forward Checking
A reason to distribute constraint satisfaction is privacy: agents may not want to share their values, and they may wish to keep constraints as private as possible. In this paper, w...
