CSAA: A Distributed Ant Algorithm Framework for Constraint Satisfaction
In this paper the distributed Constraint Satisfaction Ant Algorithm (CSAA) framework is presented. It uses an ant-based system for the distributed solving of constraint satisfacti...

A Hybrid Approach to Distributed Constraint Satisfaction
We present a hybrid approach to Distributed Constraint Satisfaction which combines incomplete, fast, penalty-based local search with complete, slower systematic search. Thus, we pr...

Random Constraint Satisfaction: Theory Meets Practice
Abstract. We study the experimental consequences of a recent theoretical result by Achlioptas et al. that shows that conventional models of random problems are trivially insoluble ...

A New Approach for Heterogeneous Hybridization of Constraint Satisfaction Search Algorithms
In the recent years, CSP's have come to be seen as the core problem in many applications. We propose here a hybrid algorithm (MC-FC) that combines two different search method...

General Symmetry Breaking Constraints
We describe some new propagators for breaking symmetries in constraint satisfaction problems. We also introduce symmetry breaking constraints to deal with symmetries acting simulta...
