The VPN Problem with Concave Costs
We consider the following network design problem. We are given an undirected network with costs on the edges, a set of terminals, and an upper bound for each terminal limiting the ...

Generalizations of the Global Cardinality Constraint for Hierarchical Resources
Abstract. We propose generalizations of the Global Cardinality Constraint (gcc) in which a partition of the variables is given. In the context of resource allocation problems, such...

Elicitation strategies for soft constraint problems with missing preferences: Properties, algorithms and experimental studies
We consider soft constraint problems where some of the preferences may be unspecified. This models, for example, settings where agents are distributed and have privacy issues, or ...
