Asynchronous Inter-Level Forward-Checking for DisCSPs
We propose two new asynchronous algorithms for solving Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DisCSPs). The first algorithm, AFC-ng, is a nogood-based version of Asynchronou...

Filtering Numerical CSPs Using Well-Constrained Subsystems
When interval methods handle systems of equations over the reals, two main types of filtering/contraction algorithms are used to reduce the search space. When the system is well-co...

Maintaining State in Propagation Solvers
Abstract. Constraint propagation solvers interleave propagation, removing impossible values from variable domains, with search. The solver state is modified during propagation. But...

On the Power of Clause-Learning SAT Solvers with Restarts
In this work, we improve on existing work that studied the relationship between the proof system of modern SAT solvers and general resolution. Previous contributions such as those ...

A Gender-Based Genetic Algorithm for the Automatic Configuration of Algorithms
A problem that is inherent to the development and efficient use of solvers is that of tuning parameters. The CP community has a long history of addressing this task automatically. ...

Constraint-Based Optimal Testing Using DNNF Graphs
The goal of testing is to distinguish between a number of hypotheses about a systemfor example, dierent diagnoses of faults by applying input patterns and verifying or falsifying t...

On the Structure of Industrial SAT Instances
Abstract. During this decade, it has been observed that many realworld graphs, like the web and some social and metabolic networks, have a scale-free structure. These graphs are ch...

Confidence-Based Work Stealing in Parallel Constraint Programming
The most popular architecture for parallel search is work stealing: threads that have run out of work (nodes to be searched) steal from threads that still have work. Work stealing ...

Same-Relation Constraints
The ALLDIFFERENT constraint was one of the first global constraints [17] and it enforces the conjunction of one binary constraint, the not-equal constraint, for every pair of varia...

Modelling Equidistant Frequency Permutation Arrays: An Application of Constraints to Mathematics
Equidistant Frequency Permutation Arrays are combinatorial objects of interest in coding theory. A frequency permutation array is a type of constant composition code in which each ...
