Programs / Demos for the
Adaptive Constraint Satisfaction Project

Constraint Satisfaction Research Group
University of Essex

There is a number of utility and demonstration programs for the Adaptive Constraint Satisfaction Project.

Algorithm Comparison and Evaluation (ACE) System

Users can use this tool to run experiments to evaluate a non-trivial number of algorithms and heuristics

Unix (SunOS 4.1) version

Windows version

Adaptive Search Algorithm (ASA) Demo

Windows demo which allows the users to change the level of lookahead and intelligent backtracking dynamically and observe a number of monitors on the performance of the algorithm

Genbcsp Program

Windows version of a program which generates random binary constraint satisfactions for experimental purpose

Node Traversal Cost (NTC) Monitor (program demo)

Unix (SunOS 4.1) sample program showing how monitors can be built under our architecture

Reduced Exceptional Behaviour Algorithm (REBA) Demo

Program demonstrating an adaptive constraint satisfaction strategy which uses the fast-first principle

Unix (SunOS 4.1) version

Windows version
