Constraint Processing and Database techniques overlap significantly. We discuss here the application of a constraint satisfaction technique, called dynamic bundling, to databases....
A well-studied problem in the electric power industry is that of optimally scheduling preventative maintenance of power generating units within a power plant. We show how these pr...
Fast Downward is a classical planning system based on heuristic search. It can deal with general deterministic planning problems encoded in the propositional fragment of PDDL2.2, ...
Pattern-based clustering is important in many applications, such as DNA micro-array data analysis, automatic recommendation systems and target marketing systems. However, pattern-...
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...
