We study propagation algorithms for the conjunction of two ALLDIFFERENT constraints. Solutions of an ALLDIFFERENT constraint can be seen as perfect matchings on the variable/value...

In case a CSP is over-constrained, it is natural to allow some constraints, called soft constraints, to be violated. We propose a generic method to soften global constraints that c...

The paper investigates parameterized approximate message-passing schemes that are based on bounded inference and are inspired by Pearl’s belief propagation algorithm (BP). We st...

Boolean Constraint Propagation (BCP) is recognized as one of the most useful technique for efficient satisfiability checking. In this paper a new extension of the scope of boole...
Many events in the world occur with some quantity that shows a level of the occurrence. This paper discusses reasoning with the normalized level of the occurrence, which we call i...
