An approximation algorithm for a constraint satisfaction problem is said to be nontrivial if its performance ratio is strictly superior to the expected performance of the algorith...
In this paper, we describe a new incomplete approach for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) based on the ant colony optimization (ACO) metaheuristic. The idea is to us...
In the last few years there has been a great amount of interest in Random Constraint Satisfaction Problems, both from an experimental and a theoretical point of view. Quite intrigu...

Freuder in (1991) defined interchangeability for classical Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Recently (2002), we extended the definition of interchangeability to Soft CSP...
Abstract. In this survey we compare the similarities, differences and the complexities of two very different approaches to solve a general constraint satisfaction probblems (CSP). ...
