Symmetry is an important factor in solving many constraint satisfaction problems. One common type of symmetry is when we have symmetric values. We can eliminate such value symmetr...
Quantified Constraint Satisfaction Problems (QCSPs) are CSPs in which some variables are universally quantified. For each possible value of such variables, we have to find ways to ...

The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...

Abstract. This paper studies algorithms for the Disjunctive Temporal Problem (DTP) a quite general temporal reasoning problem introduced in [12]. This problem involves the satisfac...
