Solving logic puzzles has become a very popular past-time, particularly since the Sudoku puzzle started appearing in newspapers all over the world. We have developed a puzzle gene...
Distributed constraint satisfaction, in its most general acceptation, involves a collection of agents solving local constraint satisfaction subproblems, and a communication protoco...
Abstract. One of the most appealing features of constraint programming is its rich constraint language for expressing combinatorial optimization problems. This paper demonstrates t...
We shed light on the connections between different approaches to constraint satisfaction by showing that the main consistency concepts used to derive tractability results for cons...
Global constraints are used in constraint programming to help users specify patterns that occur frequently in the real world. In addition, global constraints facilitate the use of ...
