Freuder in (1991) defined interchangeability for classical Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Recently (2002), we extended the definition of interchangeability to Soft CSP...
It is well known that any non-binary discrete constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) can be translated into an equivalent binary CSP. Two translations are known: the dual graph tra...
In this paper we derive a generic form of structural decomposition for the constraint satisfaction problem, which we call a guarded decomposition. We show that many existing decom...
We introduce symmetric Datalog, a syntactic restriction of linear Datalog and show that its expressive power is exactly that of restricted symmetric monotone Krom SNP. The deep re...
Abstract. Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DCSP) is a general framework for multi-agent coordination and conflict resolution. In most DCSP algorithms, inter-agent com...
