The AllDifferent constraint is a crucial component of any constraint toolkit, language or solver, since it is very widely used in a variety of constraint models. The literature con...
Abstract--This paper presents the development of an unsupervised image segmentation framework (referred to as CTex) that is based on the adaptive inclusion of color and texture in ...
The use of dynamic access control policies for threat response adapts local response decisions to high level system constraints. However, security policies are often carefully tigh...
Recently defined resolution calculi for Max-SAT and signed Max-SAT have provided a logical characterization of the solving techniques applied by Max-SAT and WCSP solvers. In this...
Abstract--Software transactional memory (STM) algorithms often rely on centralized components to achieve atomicity, isolation and consistency. In a distributed setting, centralized...
