This paper describes an extension to the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) approach called MUSE CSP (Multiply SEgmented Constraint Satisfaction Problem). This extension is esp...
A key factor that can dramatically reduce the search space during constraint solving is the criterion under which the variable to be instantiated next is selected. For this purpos...
Finite-domain constraint programming has been used with great success to tackle a wide variety of combinatorial problems in industry and academia. To apply finite-domain constrain...

Because of privacy concerns, agents may not want to reveal information that could be of use in problem solving. As a result, there are potentially important tradeoffs between main...
Real-life problems present several kinds of preferences. We focus on problems with both positive and negative preferences, that we call bipolar preference problems. Although seemi...
