Computing the Frequency of Partial Orders
In this paper we study four algorithms for computing the frequency of a given partial order. Here the frequency of a partial order is the number of standard labellings respecting t...

The Impact of AND/OR Search Spaces on Constraint Satisfaction and Counting
The contribution of this paper is in demonstrating the impact of AND/OR search spaces view on solutions counting. In contrast to the traditional (OR) search space view, the AND/OR ...

Backtrack-Free Search for Real-Time Constraint Satisfaction
A constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) model can be preprocessed to ensure that any choices made will lead to solutions, without the need to backtrack. This can be especially usef...

The Tractability of Global Constraints
Abstract. Constraint propagation is one of the techniques central to the success of constraint programming. Fast algorithms are used to prune the search space either before or duri...

Disjoint, Partition and Intersection Constraints for Set and Multiset Variables
We have started a systematic study of global constraints on set and multiset variables. We consider here disjoint, partition, and intersection constraints in conjunction with cardi...

Constraint Propagation as a Proof System
Abstract. Refutation proofs can be viewed as a special case of constraint propagation, which is a fundamental technique in solving constraint-satisfaction problems. The generalizat...
