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 seemin...

We present a new probabilistic framework for finding likely variable assignments in difficult constraint satisfaction problems. Finding such assignments is key to efficient sea...

Deriving products from a software product line is difficult, particularly when there are many constraints in the variability of the product line. Understanding the impact of variab...
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...
We evaluate an asynchronous gossiping middleware for wireless users that propagates messages from any group member to all the other group members. This propagation can either be i...
