Abstract

A discrete temporal constraint satisfaction problem is a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) whose constraint language consists of relations that are first-order definable over (Z,<)(\Bbb Z,<). Our main result says that every distance CSP is in Ptime or NP-complete, unless it can be formulated as a finite domain CSP in which case the computational complexity is not known in general.
