"Constraint satisfaction is a general problem in which the goal is to find values for a set of variables that will satisfy a given set of constraints. It is the core of many a...
When multiple agents are in a shared environment, there usually exist constraints among the possible actions of these agents. A distributed constraint satisfaction problem (distrib...
Distributed constraint satisfaction, in its most general acceptation, involves a collection of agents solving local constraint satisfaction subproblems, and a communication protoco...
We consider worst case time bounds for NP-complete problems including 3-SAT, 3-coloring, 3-edge-coloring, and 3list-coloring. Our algorithms are based on a constraint satisfaction...
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...
