In this paper, we address the scheduling problem of multi-mode real-time systems upon uniform multiprocessor platforms. We propose two transition protocols, specified together wit...
We show that a resealed constrainedness parameter provides the basis for accurate numerical models of search cost for both backtracking and local search algorithms. In the past, t...

Abstract. We present decision procedures for logical constraints involving collections such as sets, multisets, and fuzzy sets. Element membership in our collections is given by ch...
Model programs represent transition systems that are used fy expected behavior of systems at a high level of abstraction. The main application area is application-level network pro...
This paper presents a hybrid algorithm that combines local search and constraint programming techniques to solve a network routing problem. The problem considered is that of routi...
