This paper uses a constraint set approach to linear programming problems with equality constraints whose coefficients and/or right-hand side values could be uncertain. We consider ...
The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a central generic problem in artificial intelligence. Considerable effort has been made in identifying properties which ensure tractabi...
Over-constrained problems can be solved with the help of soft constraints. Weighted constraints are a typical representation of soft constraints used to minimize weights of unsati...
Harmonization with four voices is a musical problem which is subject to hard constraints, which absolutely need to be fulfilled, as well as to soft constraints, which preferably ho...
Soft constraints extend classical constraints to deal with non-functional requirements, overconstrained problems and preferences. Bistarelli, Montanari and Rossi have developed a ...
