March 2012

Throughout March we have read chapters 3 and 4 in the book Decision Procedure and have been discussing the content in both our small and large group meetings to better understand the content.  Also, Maggie and I have been working with Elena on the visualization of the MiniSAT algorithm.  We decided to use Flash Builder and Flare for this visualization.  So far we have been going through the examples provided from the flare.prefuse.org website to get better idea of how to implement our visualization.  We figured out the zooming capability and have created our own trees using Flash Builder.  In addition to the SAT/CSP project, I have been working on my own project for conflict analysis in CSPs.  So far on this project I have created a variable ordering specifically for the zebra problem which selects one variable per cluster and jumps across clusters.  The purpose of this variable ordering is to study how CBJ identifies the constrains and creates the conflicts.  Additionally, I have implemented a piece in my code which takes a pre assignments and searches for a solution based on the partial assignment.  From here, I plan to read the relevant research which has already taken place regarding conflict analysis in CSP to build a better intuition of the material.
