Abstract. This paper presents a hybridization of a Constraint Programming (CP) model and search techniques with Local Search (LS) and some ideas borrowed from Genetic Algorithms (G...

We have started a systematic study of global constraints on set and multiset variables. We consider here disjoint, partition, and intersection constraints in conjunction with cardi...
Deviation is a recent constraint to balance a set of variables with respect to a given mean. We show that the propagators recently introduced are not bound-consistent when the mean...
Methods exploiting tree-decompositions seem to provide the best approach for solving constraint networks w.r.t. the theoretical time complexity. However, they have not shown a real...
Much progress has been made in distributed computing in the areas of distribution structure, open computing, fault tolerance, and security. Yet, writing distributed applications r...
