Constraint-Based Approaches to the Covering Test Problem
Covering arrays have been studied for their applications to drug screening and software and hardware testing. In this paper, we model the problem as a constraint program. Our propo...

New Structural Decomposition Techniques for Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We propose four new structural decomposition techniques for Constraint Satisfaction Problems. We compare these four techniques both theoretically and experimentally with hinge deco...

Better Propagation for Non-preemptive Single-Resource Constraint Problems
Abstract. Overload checking, forbidden regions, edge finding, and notfirst/not-last detection are well-known propagation rules to prune the start times of activities which have t...

Automatically Exploiting Symmetries in Constraint Programming
We introduce a framework for studying and solving a class of CSP formulations. The framework allows constraints to be expressed as linear and nonlinear equations, then compiles th...

A Value Ordering Heuristic for Local Search in Distributed Resource Allocation
Abstract. In this paper we develop a localized value-ordering heuristic for distributed resource allocation problems. We show how this value ordering heuristics can be used to achi...

Dynamic Distributed BackJumping
We consider Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DisCSP) when control of variables and constraints is distributed among a set of agents. This paper presents a distributed ...

A Note on Bilattices and Open Constraint Programming
Abstract. We propose to use bilattice as a constraint valuation structure in order to represent truth and belief at the same time. A bilattice is a set which owns two lattices orde...

Characterization of a New Restart Strategy for Randomized Backtrack Search
We propose an improved restart strategy for randomized backtrack search, and evaluate its performance by comparing to other heuristic and stochastic search techniques for solving r...
