Constructing a program from a specification is a long-known general and fundamental problem. Besides its theoretical interest, this question also has practical implications, since...
We introduce a novel and exciting research area: symmetrising levels of consistency to produce stronger forms of consistency and more efficient mechanisms for establishing them. W...

We propose a surprisingly simple new way of breaking all value symmetries with constraints. Our method requires the addition of one variable per value of the problem plus a linear ...
Besides search, complete inference methods can also be used to solve soft constraint problems. Their main drawback is the high spatial complexity. To improve its practical usage, w...
Abstract. We investigate a general paradigm for constructing arbitraryinput-length (AIL) MACs from fixed-input-length (FIL) MACs, define the waste as the relevant efficiency para...
