The Complexity of Valued Constraint Models
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a general framework encompassing many optimisation problems. We discuss precisely what it means for a problem to be modelled in...

A Maximal Tractable Class of Soft Constraints
Many optimization problems can be expressed us­ ing some form of soft constraints, where different measures of desirability arc associated with differ­ ent combinations of domai...

Tractable Symmetry Breaking Using Restricted Search Trees
We present a new conceptual abstraction in symmetry breaking – the GE-tree. The construction and traversal of a GE-tree breaks all symmetries in any constraint satisfaction or si...

Hybrid Constraint Tightening for Solving Hybrid Scheduling Problems
Hybrid Scheduling Problems (HSPs) contain both temporal and finite-domain variables, as well as constraints between them. A hybrid constraint over temporal and finite-domain varia...

Tractable Optimal Competitive Scheduling
In this paper we describe the problem of Optimal Competitive Scheduling, which consists of activities that compete for a shared resource. The objective is to choose a subset of ac...
