A constraint satisfaction problem (csp) de(cid:12)ned over a constraint network consists of a (cid:12)nite set of variables, each associated with a domain of values, and a set of constraints. A solution is an assignment of a value to each variable from its domain such that all the constraints are satis(cid:12)ed. Typical constraint satisfaction problems are to determine whether a solution exists, to (cid:12)nd one or all solutions and to (cid:12)nd an optimal solution relative to a given cost function. An example of a constraint satisfaction problem is the well known k -colorability. The problem is to color, if possible, a given graph with k colors only, such that any two adjacent nodes have di(cid:11)erent colors. A constraint satisfaction formulation of this problem associates the nodes of the graph with variables, the possible colors are their domains and the inequality constraints between adjacent nodes are the constraints of the problem. Each constraint of a csp may be expressed as a relation, de(cid:12)ned on some subset of variables, denoting their legal combinations of values. As well, constraints
