Ants can solve constraint satisfaction problems
In this paper, we describe a new incomplete approach for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) based on the ant colony optimization (ACO) metaheuristic. The idea is to us...

Solving Permutation Constraint Satisfaction Problems with Artificial Ants
Abstract. We describe in this paper Ant-P-solver, a generic constraint solver based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic. The ACO metaheuristic takes inspiration on t...

CSAA: A Distributed Ant Algorithm Framework for Constraint Satisfaction
In this paper the distributed Constraint Satisfaction Ant Algorithm (CSAA) framework is presented. It uses an ant-based system for the distributed solving of constraint satisfacti...

Which Dynamic Constraint Problems Can Be Solved By Ants?
There exist a number of algorithms that can solve dynamic constraint satisfaction/optimization problems (DynCSPs or DynCOPs). Because of the large variety in the characteristics o...

Propagate the Right Thing: How Preferences Can Speed-Up Constraint Solving
We present an algorithm Pref-AC that limits arc consistency (AC) to the preferred choices of a tree search procedure and that makes constraint solving more efficient without chan...
