Abstract. We describe the constraint satisfaction problem and show that it uni-
fies a very wide variety of computational problems. We discuss the techniques
that have been used to analyse the complexity of different forms of constraint sat-
isfaction problem, focusing on the algebraic approach, explaining the basic ideas
and highlighting some of the recent results in this area.



The above abstract belongs to a joint invited talk at FTP & Tableaux 2009. The
