Beschreibung
A Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) consists of a set ofvariables, a domain of values for each variable and a set ofconstraints. The objective is to assign a value for each variablesuch that all constraints are satisfied. CSPs continue to receiveincreased attention because of both their high complexity and theiromnipresence in academic, industrial and even real-life problems.This is why they are the subject of intense research in bothartificial intelligence and operations research. This bookintroduces the classic CSP and details severalextensions/improvements of both formalisms and techniques in orderto tackle a large variety of problems. Consistency, flexible,dynamic, distributed and learning aspects are discussed andillustrated using simple examples such as the n-queen problem.
