The Parameterized Complexity of Global Constraints
We argue that parameterized complexity is a useful tool with which to study global constraints. In particular, we show that many global constraints which are intractable to propag...

Breaking Instance-Independent Symmetries in Exact Graph Coloring
Code optimization and high level synthesis can be posed as constraint satisfaction and optimization problems, such as graph coloring used in register allocation. Graph coloring is...

Constraint-Based Approaches to the Covering Test Problem
Covering arrays have been studied for their applications to drug screening and software and hardware testing. In this paper, we model the problem as a constraint program. Our propo...

Multiset Ordering Constraints
We identify a new and important global (or nonbinary) constraint which ensures that the values taken by two vectors of variables, when viewed as multisets, are ordered. This const...

Boosting Set Constraint Propagation for Network Design
Abstract. This paper reconsiders the deployment of synchronous optical networks (SONET), an optimization problem naturally expressed in terms of set variables. Earlier approaches, ...
