Dynamic Management of Heuristics for Solving Structured CSPs
"... This paper deals with the problem of solving efficiently structured CSPs. It is well known that (hyper)tree-decompositions offer the best approaches from a theoretical viewpoint, but from the practical viewpoint, these methods do not offer efficient algorithms. Therefore, we introduce here a framew ..."

framework founded on coverings of CSP by acyclic hypergraphs. We study their properties and relations, and evaluate theoretically their interest with respect to the solving of structured problems. This framework does not define a new decomposition, but makes easier a dynamic management of the CSP structure
The FF planning system: Fast plan generation through heuristic search
- Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research
, 2001
"... We describe and evaluate the algorithmic techniques that are used in the FF planning system. Like the HSP system, FF relies on forward state space search, using a heuristic that estimates goal distances by ignoring delete lists. Unlike HSP's heuristic, our method does not assume facts to be ind ..."

A New Method for Solving Hard Satisfiability Problems
- AAAI
, 1992
"... We introduce a greedy local search procedure called GSAT for solving propositional satisfiability problems. Our experiments show that this procedure can be used to solve hard, randomly generated problems that are an order of magnitude larger than those that can be handled by more traditional approac ..."

approaches such as the Davis-Putnam procedure or resolution. We also show that GSAT can solve structured satisfiability problems quickly. In particular, we solve encodings of graph coloring problems, N-queens, and Boolean induction. General application strategies and limitations of the approach are also
The Application of Petri Nets to Workflow Management
, 1998
"... Workflow management promises a new solution to an age-old problem: controlling, monitoring, optimizing and supporting business processes. What is new about workflow management is the explicit representation of the business process logic which allows for computerized support. This paper discusses the ..."

Constraint Networks
, 1992
"... Constraint-based reasoning is a paradigm for formulating knowledge as a set of constraints without specifying the method by which these constraints are to be satisfied. A variety of techniques have been developed for finding partial or complete solutions for different kinds of constraint expression ..."

Constraint networks are graphical representations used to guide strategies for solving constraint satisfaction problems
The Structure-Mapping Engine: Algorithm and Examples
- Artificial Intelligence
, 1989
"... This paper describes the Structure-Mapping Engine (SME), a program for studying analogical processing. SME has been built to explore Gentner's Structure-mapping theory of analogy, and provides a "tool kit" for constructing matching algorithms consistent with this theory. Its flexibili ..."

Fast Folding and Comparison of RNA Secondary Structures (The Vienna RNA Package)
"... Computer codes for computation and comparison of RNA secondary structures, the Vienna RNA package, are presented, that are based on dynamic programming algorithms and aim at predictions of structures with minimum free energies as well as at computations of the equilibrium partition functions and bas ..."

Bigtable: A distributed storage system for structured data
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 7TH CONFERENCE ON USENIX SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION - VOLUME 7
, 2006
"... Bigtable is a distributed storage system for managing structured data that is designed to scale to a very large size: petabytes of data across thousands of commodity servers. Many projects at Google store data in Bigtable, including web indexing, Google Earth, and Google Finance. These applications ..."
