A non-binary constraint ordering heuristic for constraint satisfaction problems
Abstract Nowadays many real problems can be modelled as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). A search algorithm for constraint programming requires an order in which variables ...

Approximability of the Maximum Solution Problem for Certain Families of Algebras
We study the approximability of the maximum solution problem. This problem is an optimisation variant of the constraint satisfaction problem and it captures a wide range of interes...

Modelling and Solving Configuration Problems on Business Processes Using a Multi-Level Constraint Satisfaction Approach
Abstract: In this paper we present our ideas to apply constraint satisfaction on business processes. We propose a multi-level constraint satisfaction approach to handle t levels of...

A general, fully distributed multi-agent planning algorithm
We present a fully distributed multi-agent planning algorithm. Our methodology uses distributed constraint satisfaction to coordinate between agents, and local planning to ensure ...

Solution Reuse in Dynamic Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Many AI problems can be modeled as constraint satisfaction problems (CSP), but many of them are actually dynamic: the set of constraints to consider evolves because of the environ...

Formalizing Dependency Directed Backtracking and Explanation Based Learning in Refinement Search
The ideas of dependency directed backtracking (DDB) and explanation based learning (EBL) have developed independently in constraint satisfaction, planning and problem solving comm...

Detecting Unsatisfiable CSPs by Coloring the Micro-Structure
Constraint satisfaction research has focussed on consistency checking using k-consistency and its variations such as arc-consistency, and path-consistency. We define a new form of...

Asynchronous Search with Aggregations
Many problem-solving tasks can be formalized as constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). In a multi-agent setting, information about constraints and variables may belong to differ...
