RNDr. Roman Barták, Ph.D. [ MAIL "bartak(zavinac)ktiml.mff.cuni.cz"] The group performs basic and applied research in the areas of satisfiability and discrete problems by applying techniques such as constraint and Boolean satisfiability, (constraint programming, and knowledge reasoning. We do research on general problem solving techniques and consistency algorithms (motivated by artificial intelligence), on algorithms for solvi combinatorial optimisation problems such as scheduling, and on formal properties of proble problem complexity. Currently the main application areas of our research are planning and are working on generally applicable planning and scheduling engines, on formal specificati (problem modelling), and on automated extraction of knowledge from models that is useful f solving. Our current focus is on techniques integrating temporal, resource, and logical re
