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...
This paper presents new look-ahead schemes for backtracking search when solving constraint satisfaction problems. The look-ahead schemes compute a heuristic for value ordering and...
In this paper, we study the possibility of designing non-trivial random CSP models by exploiting the intrinsic connection between structures and typical-case hardness. We show tha...
Abstract. Researchers have focused on assessing the quality of search algorithms by measuring effort, number of mistakes, runtime distributions and other characteristics. In this p...
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...
