On global warming: Flow-based soft global constraints
In case a CSP is over-constrained, it is natural to allow some constraints, called soft constraints, to be violated. We propose a generic method to soften global constraints that c...

In the quest of the best form of local consistency for Weighted CSP
The weighted CSP (WCSP) framework is a soft constraint framework with a wide range of applications. In this paper, we consider the problem of maintaining local consistency during ...

Evaluation-Based Semiring Meta-constraints
Abstract. Classical constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) provide an expressive formalism for describing and solving many real-world problems. However, classical CSPs prove to be...

Automatically Exploiting Symmetries in Constraint Programming
We introduce a framework for studying and solving a class of CSP formulations. The framework allows constraints to be expressed as linear and nonlinear equations, then compiles th...

On the Computation of Local Interchangeability in Soft Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Freuder in (1991) defined interchangeability for classical Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Recently (2002), we extended the definition of interchangeability to Soft CSP...
