Abstract. The general timetabling problem is an assignment of activities to xed time intervals, adhering to a prede ned set of resource availabilities. Timetabling problems are di ...
Conflict analysis is a powerful paradigm of backtrack search algorithms, in particular for solving satisfiability problems arising from practical applications. Accordingly, most...

Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) are ubiquitous in Artificial Intelligence. The backtrack algorithms that maintain some local consistency during search have become the de ...
A key factor that can dramatically reduce the search space during constraint solving is the criterion under which the variable to be instantiated next is selected. For this purpos...
