This paper investigates the impact of symbolic search for solving domain-independent action planning problems with binary decision diagrams (BDDs). Polynomial upper and exponential...
Abstract. Variable elimination is the basic step of Adaptive Consistency 4 . It transforms the problem into an equivalent one, having one less variable. Unfortunately, there are ma...
Abstract. We present a new method to break symmetry in graph coloring problems. While most alternative techniques add symmetry breaking predicates in a pre-processing step, we deve...
This paper presents an attempt to construct a ”practical” CSP algorithm that assigns a variable with 2 values at every step. Such a strategy has been successfully used for cons...
Hyper-heuristics can be thought of as “heuristics to choose heuristics”. They are concerned with adaptively finding solution methods, rather than directly producing a solutio...
