Abstract. This paper introduces restart and nogood recording techniques in the domain of qualitative spatial and temporal reasoning. Nogoods and restarts can be applied orthogonall...
Many combinatorial problems can be modelled as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Solving a general CSP is known to be NP-complete, so closure and heuristic search are usual...

We present an algorithm for solving a general min-cut, twoway partitioning problem subject to timing constraints. The problem is formulated as a constrained programming problem an...
A well-studied problem in the electric power industry is that of optimally scheduling preventative maintenance of power generating units within a power plant. We show how these pr...
Many real-life Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) involve some constraints similar to the alldifferent constraints. These constraints are called constraints of difference. Th...
