: We give the main definitions and results of a new framework for algebraic specifications: the framework of label algebras. The main idea underlying our approach is that the sem...
Abstract. Thanks to its extended expressiveness, the quantified constraint satisfaction problem (QCSP) can be used to model problems that are difficult to express in the standard C...
We propose a new method for solving structured CSPs which generalizes and improves the Cyclic-Clustering approach [4]. First, the cutset and the tree-decomposition of the constrai...
We study the complexity of evaluating positive equality-free sentences of first-order (FO) logic over fixed, finite structures B. This may be seen as a natural generalisation of th...
Constraint programming is rapidly becoming the technology of choice for modeling and solving complex combinatorial problems. However, users of constraint programming technology nee...
