— Scheduling by Edge Reversal (SER) is a fully distributed scheduling mechanism based on the manipulation of acyclic orientations of a graph. This work uses SER to perform constr...
To improve solution robustness, we introduce the concept of super solutions to constraint programming. An (a, b)-super solution is one in which if a variables lose their values, th...
We study the problem of combining the outcomes of several different classifiers in a way that provides a coherent inference that satisfies some constraints. In particular, we deve...
The profitability and morale of many organizations (such as factories, hospitals and airlines) are affected by their ability to schedule their personnel properly. Sophisticated an...

In recent years, many works have been carried out to solve over-constrained problems, and more speci cally the Maximal Constraint Satisfaction Problem (Max-CSP), where the goal is ...
