Abstract
Systems and methods for solving a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) defined by one or more variables, constraints and probabilistic requests (PRs) are provided. In one embodiment, each PR is mapped onto a set of constraints that implement the PR. The CSP solver then finds a series of solutions to the CSP. For each solution, if a constraint associated with a PR is satisfied, then a success counter for that PR is incremented; else a failure counter for that PR is incremented. If the constraint was not considered for the purpose of solving the CSP, then the failure counter for the PR associated with the constraint is incremented.
