Prosser's hybrid algorithms for the Constraint Satisfaction 
              Problem
lang/lisp/code/csp/
This directory contains Patrick Prosser's hybrid algorithms for the
binary constraint satisfaction problem. Search algorithms include 
chronological backtracking, backmarking, backjumping, forward
checking, graph-based backjumping, conflict-directed backjumping,
backjumping with directed 2-consistency, forward checking with
directed 2-consistency, conflict directed backjumping with directed
k-consistency, forward checking with conflict-directed backjumping,
with directed k-consistency, and various combinations.
