Looking at Full Looking Ahead

Haralick and Elliott's full looking ahead algorithm [4] was presented in the same article as forward checking, but is not as commonly used. We give experimental results which indicate that on some types of constraint satisfaction problems, full looking ahead outperforms forward checking. We also present three new looking ahead algorithms, all variations on full looking ahead, which were designe...

Nepal hasmade impressive gains in health and nutrition despite being in a state of political, economic and demographic transition.
