ABSTRACT

Constraint satisfaction optimization problem is a kind of optimization problem involving cost minimization as well as complex constraints. Local search and constraint programming respectively have been used for solving such problems. In this paper, I propose a method to integrate local search and constraint programming to improve search performance. Basically, local search is used to solve the given problem. However, it is very difficult to find a feasible neighbor satisfying all the constraints when we use only local search. Therefore, I introduced constraint programming as a tool for neighbor generation. Through the experimental results using weighted N-Queens problems, I confirmed that the proposed method can significantly improve search performance.
