Abstract. This paper offers a critique of the framework of Constraint Satisfaction Problems. While this framework has been successful in studying search techniques, and has inspire...
In this paper, lmrsing-as-deduction and constraint programming are brought together to outline a procedure for the speeitication of constraint-based chart parsers. Fob lowing the ...
Abstract. This paper proposes to promote constraints to first-class status. In contrast to constraint propagation, which performs inference on values of variables, first-class co...
In this paper we extend the Revision Programming framework--a logic-based framework to express and maintain constraints on knowledge bases-with different forms of preferences. Pref...
We analyse how inheritance of synchronization constraints should be supported. The conclusion of our analysis is that inheritance of synchronization constraints should take the for...
