Cluster analysis of ranking data, which occurs in consumer questionnaires, voting forms or other inquiries of preferences, attempts to identify typical groups of rank choices. Emp...
The link structure of the Web graph is used in algorithms such as Kleinberg’s HITS and Google’s PageRank to assign authoritative weights to Web pages and thus rank them. Both ...
Constraint satisfaction technology emerged from AI research. Its practical success is based on integration of sophisticated search with consistency techniques reducing the search ...
This paper presents an algorithm that achieves hyper-arc consistency for the soft alldifferent constraint. To this end, we prove and exploit the equivalence with a minimum-cost flo...
In this paper, we propose, implement and analyze the performance of a Reconfigurable Sequential Consistency Algorithm (RSCA) using simulation. Extending the concepts of reconfigur...
