A distributed search algorithm for solving distributed constraint satisfaction problems (DisCSPs) is presented. The proposed algorithm is composed of multiple search processes (SP...
Local search techniques have attracted considerable interest in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community since the development of GSAT [9] and the min-conflicts heuristic [5] ...

This paper studies a version of the job shop scheduling problem in which some operations have to be scheduled within non-relaxable time windows i.e. earliest latest possible start...
Local search algorithms have been very successful for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). However, a major weakness has been that local search is unable to detect unso...
We present a new probabilistic framework for finding likely variable assignments in difficult constraint satisfaction problems. Finding such assignments is key to efficient sea...
