Abstract. This paper offers a critique of the framework of Constraint Satisfaction Problems. While this framework has been successful in studying search techniques, and has inspire...
Instances of constraint satisfaction problems can be solved efficiently if they are representable as a tree decomposition of small width. Unfortunately, the task of finding a deco...
Abstract. Time granularity constraint reasoning is likely to have a relevant role in emerging applications like GIS, time management in the Web and Personal Information Management ...
Abstract. Variables and constraints in problem domains are often distributed. These distributed constraint satisfaction problems (DCSPs) lend themselves to multiagent solutions. Mo...
Constraint Programming is a powerful approach for modeling and solving many combinatorial problems, scalability, however, remains an issue in . Abstraction and reformulation techni...
