Translation-based Constraint Answer Set Solving

Artificial Intelligence 2011-04-21 v1

Abstract

We solve constraint satisfaction problems through translation to answer set programming (ASP). Our reformulations have the property that unit-propagation in the ASP solver achieves well defined local consistency properties like arc, bound and range consistency. Experiments demonstrate the computational value of this approach.
