A temporal constraint language is a set of relations that has a first-order definition in (Q, <), the dense linear order of the rational numbers. We present a complete comple...
Constraint programming has been used in many applications where uncertainty arises to model safe reasoning. The goal of constraint propagation is to propagate intervals of uncerta...
We study a selected group of hybrid EAs for solving CSPs, consisting of the best performing EAs from the literature. We investigate the contribution of the evolutionary component t...
Nonlinear constraint systems can be solved by combining consistency techniques and search. In this approach, the search space is reduced using local reasoning on constraints. Howev...
This paper proposes an incremental approach for building solutions using evolutionary computation. It presents a simple evolutionary model called a Transition model in which parti...
