Book excerpt: Constraint programming is a successful technology for solving a wide range of problems in business and industry which require satisfying a set of constraints. Central to solving constraint satisfaction problems is enforcing a level of local consistency. In this thesis, we propose efficient filtering algorithms for enforcing strong local consistencies. In addition, since such filtering algorithms can be too expensive to enforce all the time, we propose some automated heuristics that can dynamically select the most appropriate filtering algorithm.
