Abstract

This paper extends a constraint solver over the booleans to make it defeasible, and embeddable in a general architecture for defeasible constraint solving. This complements previous work on defeasible solvers over finite domains and rational numbers. Similar to the latter, one approach uses witness variables to detect minimal conflict sets of constraints, but adds important overhead. Other approaches use data dependencies, as in finite domains, to detect conflict sets. Although these are not minimal, such approaches seem more promising due to their less complexity.
