Abstract. We describe a simple CSP formalism for handling multi-attribute preference problems with hard constraints, one that combines hard constraints and preferences so the two a...

We introduce the SoftAllEqual global constraint, which maximizes the number of equalities holding between pairs of assignments to a set of variables. We study the computational com...
: We show that estimating the complexity (mean and distribution) of the instances of a fixed size Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) can be very hard. We deal with the main two ...
Distributed constraint satisfaction, in its most general acceptation, involves a collection of agents solving local constraint satisfaction subproblems, and a communication protoco...
We describe a general technique for expressing domain knowledge in constraint satisfaction problems, and using it to develop optimized parallel arc consistency algorithms for the ...
