Abstract

Most work in constraint satisfaction has concentrated on computing a solution to a given problem. In practice, it often happens that an existing solution needs to be modified to satisfy additional criteria or changes in the problem. For example, a schedule or plan might have to be adjusted when a resource is missing. The concept of interchangeability characterizes the possibilities for making local changes to CSP solutions.
