Many complex real-world decision problems, such as planning, contain an underlying constraint reasoning problem. The feasibility of a solution candidate then depends on the consis...
In recent years several methods for modeling botanical trees have been proposed. The geometry and topology of tree skeletons can be well described by L-systems; however, there are...
Armstrong databases are a popular tool in example-based database design. An Armstrong database for a given constraint set from a fixed constraint class Z satisfies precisely those ...
We propose an approach that uses preferences on the constraints in order to deal with over-constrained geometric constraint problems. This approach employs constraint hierarchies,...
Multi-objective optimization is concerned with problems involving multiple measures of performance which should be optimized simultaneously. In this paper, we extend AND/OR Branch-...
