The profitability and morale of many organizations (such as factories, hospitals and airlines) are affected by their ability to schedule their personnel properly. Sophisticated an...

We claim that divisible residuated lattices (DRLs) can act as a unifying evaluation framework for soft constraint satisfaction problems (soft CSPs). DRLs form the algebraic semanti...
Interactive configuration guides a user searching through a large combinatorial space of solutions to a system of constraints. We investigate a class of very expressive underlying...

Most of complete search algorithms over Constraint Satisfaction Problems (csp) are based on Standard Backtracking. Two main enhancements of this basic scheme have been proposed : r...
We present a new series of distributed constraint satisfaction algorithms, the distributed breakout algorithms, which is inspired by local search algorithms for solving the constr...
