We introduce an LTL-like logic with atomic formulae built over a constraint language interpreting variables in Z. The constraint language includes periodicity constraints, comparis...
A depth-first search algorithm can be used to find optimal solutions of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) with respect to a set of conditional preferences statements (e.g.,...
This paper constructs a logic of soft constraints where the set of degrees of preference forms a partially ordered set. When the partially ordered set is a distributive lattice, th...
Genetic algorithms are often applied to combinatorial optimization problems, the most popular one probably being the traveling salesperson problem. In contrast to permutations use...
Business process management (BPM) has emerged as a dominant technology in current enterprise systems and business solutions. However, the technology continues to face challenges i...
