We introduce the SoftAllEqual global constraint, which maximizes the number of equalities holding between pairs of assignments to a set of variables. We study the computational com...
Symmetry is an important feature of many constraint programs. We show that any symmetry acting on a set of symmetry breaking constraints can be used to break symmetry. Different s...
A soft global constraint SOFTPREC has been proposed recently for solving optimisation problems involving precedence relations. In this paper we present new pruning rules for this g...

Tropes, an object-based knowledge representation system, has been added three important intertwined features: constraints, composite objects and tasks. Constraints provide a decla...
This paper treats the problem of managing personal tasks, through an adaptation of the Squeaky Wheel Optimization (SWO) framework, enhanced with powerful heuristics and full const...
