The process of component integrationfor distributed application sofrware development requires identifying the candidate components and performing compatibility checks based on the...
In this paper we study the consistency problem for a set of disjunctive temporal constraints [Stergiou and Koubarakis, 1998]. We propose two SAT-based procedures, and show that—o...
We compare two (apparently) rather different set-based constraint languages, and we show that, in spite of their different origins and aims, there are large classes of constraint ...
Since many applications require the verification of large sets of signatures, it is sometimes advantageous to perform a simultaneous verification instead of checking each signatu...
Effective optimisation techniques can make a dramatic difference in the performance of knowledge representation systems based on expressive description logics. Because of the corre...
