Abstract. Constraint Satisfaction Problems and Propositional Satisfiability, are frameworks widely used to represent and solve combinatorial problems. A concept of primary importan...
In this paper we present a cooperative negotiation protocol that solves a distributed resource allocation problem while conforming to soft real-time constraints in a dynamic envir...
In order to apply constraint programming to a particular domain, the problem must first be modelled as a constraint satisfaction problem. There are typically many alternative mode...
Abstract. Although constraint programming offers a wealth of strong, generalpurpose methods, in practice a complex, real application demands a person who selects, combines, and ref...
We propose a generic, domain-independent local search method called adaptive search for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). We design a new heuristics that takes advan...
