Soft arc consistency revisited
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...

The Complexity of Rooted Phylogeny problems
Several computational problems in phylogenetic reconstruction can be formulated as restrictions of the following general problem: given a formula in conjunctive normal form where ...

Symmetry and Consistency
We introduce a novel and exciting research area: symmetrising levels of consistency to produce stronger forms of consistency and more efficient mechanisms for establishing them. W...

Super Solutions in Constraint Programming
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...

The complexity of positive first-order logic without equality
We study the complexity of evaluating positive equality-free sentences of first-order (FO) logic over a fixed, finite structure B. This may be seen as a natural generalisation of ...
