This paper treats the problem of managing personal tasks, through an adaptation of the Squeaky Wheel Optimization (SWO) framework, enhanced with powerful heuristics and full const...
In current model-driven development approaches, software models are the primary artifacts of the development process. Therefore, assessment of their correctness is a key issue to e...
Abstract. This work considers the problem of approximating fixed predicate constraint satisfaction problems (MAX k-CSP(P)). We show that if the set of assignments accepted by P co...
Abstract. This paper introduces a generalization of the nvalue constraint that bounds the number of distinct values taken by a set of variables.The generalized constraint (called n...
The two most popular backtrack algorithms for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) are Forward Checking (FC) and Maintaining Arc Consistency (MAC). MAC maintains full ar...
