Pseudocode No The paper describes the steps of the algorithm in paragraph text (Section 4.2) but does not provide structured pseudocode or an algorithm block.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any link or explicit statement about the release of its source code.
Open Datasets Yes We ran experiments on problem classes from real world applications and classes following a regular pattern involving a random generation (REAL and PATT in www.cril.univ-artois.fr/ lecoutre/benchmarks.html).
Dataset Splits No The paper focuses on online learning and does not specify traditional train/validation/test dataset splits with percentages or counts. It states that the MAB framework 'does not require any training or information from preprocessing'.
Hardware Specification Yes The algorithms were implemented with a CP solver written in Java and tested on an 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon processor and 16 GB RAM.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions 'a CP solver written in Java' and specific consistency algorithms by name (AC2001, max RPC3, POAC1) along with their citations, but it does not provide specific version numbers for Java or any of the mentioned software components.
Experiment Setup Yes A cut-off of 3,600 seconds was set for all algorithms and all instances. We used the dom/deg heuristic for variable ordering and lexicographic value ordering.
