摘要
Branching Constraint Satisfaction Problems (BCSPs) model a class of uncertain dynamic resource allocation problems. We describe the features of BCSPs, and show that the associated decision problem is NP-complete. Markov Decision Problems could be used in place of BCSPs, but we show analytically and empirically that, for the class of problems in question, the BCSP algorithms are more efficient than the related MDP algorithms.
