In this paper we study four algorithms for computing the frequency of a given partial order. Here the frequency of a partial order is the number of standard labellings respecting t...
Abstract. Constraint propagation is one of the techniques central to the success of constraint programming. Fast algorithms are used to prune the search space either before or duri...
Abstract. The paper presents a new look-ahead scheme for backtracking search for solving constraint satisfaction problems. This look-ahead scheme computes a heuristic for value ord...
This paper presents a model and implementation techniques for speeding up constraint propagation. Two fundamental approaches to improving constraint propagation are explored: keepi...
Scheduling is one of the most successful application areas of constraint programming mainly thanks to special global constraints designed to model resource restrictions. Among thes...
