abstract = {We introduce a greedy local search procedure called GSAT for
solving propositional satisfiability problems. Our
experiments show that this procedure can be used to solve
hard, randomly generated problems that are an order of
magnitude larger than those that can be handled by more
traditional approaches such as the Davis-Putnam procedure or
resolution. We also show that GSAT can solve structured
satisfiability problems quickly. In particular, we solve
encodings of graph coloring problems, N-queens, and Boolean
induction. General application strategies and limitations of
the approach are also discussed.GSAT is best viewed as a
model-finding procedure. Its good performance suggests that
it may be advantageous to reformulate reasoning tasks that
have traditionally been viewed as theorem-proving problems as
model-finding tasks.},
