A soft global constraint SOFTPREC has been proposed recently for solving optimisation problems involving precedence relations. In this paper we present new pruning rules for this g...

The graph isomorphism problem consists in deciding if two given graphs have an identical structure. This problem can be modeled as a constraint satisfaction problem in a very strai...
This paper shows that existing definitions of costs associated with soft global constraints are not sufficient to deal with all the usual global constraints. We propose more expre...
We propose a natural generalization of arc-consistency, which we call multiconsistency: A value v in the domain of a variable x is kmulticonsistent with respect to a constraint C i...
We introduce a novel global constraint for the total weighted completion time of activities on a single unary capacity resource. For propagating the constraint, an O(n4 ) algorithm...
