Research Type Experimental Experimental results confirm that our lightweight filtering algorithm and approximated nogood minimization successfully trade a slight loss in pruning for considerably better efficiency, and hence compare favorably against existing state-of-the-art techniques. Experimental Evaluation This section gives three sets of experiments to demonstrate the advantage of using inc NGs in restarts and the dynamic subscription based lightweight filtering algorithm.

Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement about releasing source code or a link to a code repository for the described methodology.
Open Datasets Yes Open Shop Scheduling from the 2006 CSP Solver Competition1. ... 1http://www.cril.univ-artois.fr/ lecoutre/benchmarks.html
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using problem instances from competitions and discusses 'failure limit' and 'solving the same problem' but does not explicitly specify data splits like percentages or sample counts for training, validation, or test sets.
Hardware Specification Yes All experiments are conducted using Gecode 4.3.2 on Intel machines with 30-45GB of memory and 64-bit Debian 6.0.6 operating system.
Software Dependencies Yes All experiments are conducted using Gecode 4.3.2 on Intel machines with 30-45GB of memory and 64-bit Debian 6.0.6 operating system.
Experiment Setup Yes The failure limit at each restart according to the Luby strategy is (1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 4, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 1, . . .) and we scale each element by a factor of 100. We exploit the adaptive dom/wdeg (Boussemart et al. 2004) variable ordering heuristic as a simple and yet effective generic heuristic.
