Constraint networks have been shown to be useful in formulating such diverse problems as scene labeling, natural language parsing, and temporal reasoning. Given a constraint netwo...
We present a new property called constraint looseness and show how it can be used to estimate the level of local consistency of a binary constraint network. Speci cally, we presen...
We consider algorithms of the Waltz type for computing local consistency (also called arcconsistency) for constraints over numeric domains. Many commonlyused propagationrules do n...
The evolution of distributed applications to reflect structural changes or to adapt to specific conditions of the run-time environment is a difficult issue especially if continuou...

We propose a new framework to study properties of consistency in a Constraint Network from the perspective of properties of set intersection. Our framework comes with a proof sche...
Abstract. In constraint networks, the efficiency of a search algorithm is strongly related to the local consistency maintained during search. For a long time, it has been consider...
Abstract. Message sequence charts (MSCs) are commonly used to specify interactions between agents in communicating systems. Their visual nature makes them attractive for describing...

Decentralized consistency checking of multi-lateral collaborations is based on propagating local information to trading partners until a fixed point has been reached. However, wh...
Abstract. Establishing local consistency is one of the main algorithmic techniques in temporal and spatial reasoning. In this area, one of the central questions for the various pro...
