This paper shows that existing definitions of costs associated with soft global constraints are not sufficient to deal with all the usual global constraints. We propose more expre...
Abstract: This paper describes the application of CLP (constraint logic programming) to several digital circuit design problems. It is shown that logic programming together with ef...
Abstract. Extension of the relational database model to represent complex data has been a focus of much research in recent years. At the same time, an alternative extension of the ...
We address the problem of merging qualitative constraints networks (QCNs). We point out a merging algorithm which computes a consistent QCN representing a global view of the input...
Equidistant Frequency Permutation Arrays are combinatorial objects of interest in coding theory. A frequency permutation array is a type of constant composition code in which each ...
