Solving the Sports League Scheduling Problem with Tabu Search
In this paper we present a tabu approach for a version of the Sports League Scheduling Problem. The approach adopted is based on a formulation of the problem as a Constraint Satisf...

Partially Ordered Constraint Optimization Problems
The Constraint Problems usually addressed fall into one of two models: the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) and the Constraint Optimization Problem (COP). However, in many rea...

A Dichotomy Theorem for Constraints on a Three-Element Set
The Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) provides a common framework for many combinatorial problems. The general CSP is known to be NP-complete; however, certain restrictions on...

A Dichotomy Theorem for the General Minimum Cost Homomorphism Problem
Abstract. In the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP), the aim is to find an assignment of values to a set of variables subject to specified constraints. In the minimum cost hom...

Constraint Satisfaction with Countable Homogeneous Templates
For a fixed countable homogeneous relational structure Γ we study the computational problem whether a given finite structure of the same signature homomorphically maps to Γ. T...

Comparison of Symmetry Breaking Methods
Symmetry in a Constraint Satisfaction Problem can cause wasted search, which can be avoided by adding constraints to the CSP to exclude symmetric assignments or by modifying the s...

Dynamic Agent Ordering in Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems
The distributed constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a general formalisation used to represent problems in distributed multiagent systems. To deal with realistic problems, mult...
