We discuss different approaches to its representation and highlight the corresponding complexity, employing suitable combinatorics from Discrete Mathematics. Our view may enlighten us about the exponential search space—and incidentally pointing to appropriate techniques to cope with this challenge.enText/Conference Paper1617-5468
