Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) constitute a convenient way to capture many combinatorial problems. The general CSP is known to be NP-complete, but its complexity depends on...
Matching dependencies (MDs) are used to declaratively specify the identification (or matching) of certain attribute values in pairs of database tuples when some similarity conditi...

Traditional global search heuristics to solve constraint satisfaction problems focus on properties of an individual variable that mandate early search attention. If, however, one ...
This paper presents a new generic filtering algorithm which simultaneously considers n conjunctions of constraints as well as those constraints mentioning some variables Yk of the...
Abstract. This report presents a basic scheme for deriving systematically a filtering algorithm from the graph properties based representation of global constraints. This scheme i...
