Ruling Out Polynomial-Time Approximation Schemes for Hard Constraint Satisfaction Problems
The maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max CSP) is the following computational problem: an instance is a finite collection of constraints on a set of variables, and the goal...

The Complexity of Global Constraints
We study the computational complexity of reasoning with global constraints. We show that reasoning with such constraints is intractable in general. We then demonstrate how the sam...

Rewriting Numeric Constraint Satisfaction Problems for Consistency Algorithms
Reformulating constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) in lower arity is a common procedure when computing consistency. Lower arity CSPs are simpler to treat than high arity CSPs. ...

A Probabilistic Algorithm for k-SAT and Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We present a simple probabilistic algorithm for solving kSAT, and more generally, for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). The algorithm follows a simple localsearch pa...

Using Object-Oriented Constraint Satisfaction for Automated Configuration Generation
In this paper, we describe an approach for automatically generating configurations for complex applications. Automated generation of system co nfigurations is required to allow lar...
