Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is a problem of finding an assignment that satisfies all the given constraints. CSP has various applications in both academia and industry and it is recognized as an important problem in the research area of Artificial Intelligence. In this research, we study a hybrid encoding method to realize a high performance CSP solving system using SAT solvers (SAT-based CP System). As a result, we succeeded in winning an international competition and solving problems that cannot be solved by existing systems.
