The support of QoS properties in component-based software requires the run-time selection of appropriate concrete QoS contracts at the ports of the interacting components. Such a s...
Besides search, complete inference methods can also be used to solve soft constraint problems. Their main drawback is the high spatial complexity. To improve its practical usage, w...
The strategic safety stock placement problem is a constrained separable concave minimization problem and so is solvable, in principle, as a sequence of mixed-integer programming p...

We propose a new method for clustering based on finding maximum margin hyperplanes through data. By reformulating the problem in terms of the implied equivalence relation matrix, ...

modules can be handled in constraint graphs efficiently. This Floorplan area minimization is an important problem because many modules have shape flexibilities during the floorplan...
