On forward checking for non-binary constraint satisfaction

Solving non-binary constraint satisfaction problems, a crucial challenge today, can be tackled in two different ways: translating the non-binary problem into an equivalent binary one, or extending binary search algorithms to solve directly the original problem. The latter option raises some issues w...
