Abstract
A computerized method comprising using hardware processors for receiving a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) from a constraint solver system that previously reached a timeout error. The CSP comprises two or more constraints. The hardware processor(s) are used for determining one or more timeout cores of constraints by iteratively removing some test constraints from the CSP thereby forming a sub-problem, and solving the sub-problem using the constraint solver system. When the constraint solver system determines that the sub-problem is solvable the test constraints are added to the timeout cores and the test constraint returning to the CSP, otherwise the sub-problem is assigned as the CSP for the subsequent iteration. The timeout cores are sent to a user terminal for presentation to a user, and receiving a user input to resolve the timeout error of the CSP.
