Preferences in constraint problems are common but significant in many real world applications. In this paper, we extend our conditional and composite CSP (CCCSP) framework, managi...
In case a CSP is over-constrained, it is natural to allow some constraints, called soft constraints, to be violated. We propose a generic method to soften global constraints that c...

Due to the complexity and requirements of modern realtime systems, multiple teams must often work concurrently and independently to develop the various components of the system. S...
Recent dynamic local search (DLS) algorithms such as SAPS are amongst the state-of-the-art methods for solving the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT). DLS algorithms modi...
Integration of explanations into a CSP solver is a technique addressing difficult question “why my problem has no solution”. Moreover, explanations together with advanced searc...
