Abstract
A solver solves constraint satisfaction problems. The solver receives a user decision and propagates the user decision over a constraint satisfaction problem network. The solver then determines if there is a conflict on the network based on the propagation. If there is a conflict, the solver allows a user to resolve the conflict interactively by either canceling the user decision or dropping one or more previously made user decisions.
