Abstract

We present an algorithm, CDCL-AMS, for solving Modular Systems consisting of a set of modules where, for each module, we have a simple “black-box” solver. The algorithm is based on the Conflict-Directed Clause Learning algorithm for SAT, and communicates asynchronously with the black-box solvers to accommodate high variability in response latencies.
