A distributed search algorithm for solving distributed constraint satisfaction problems (DisCSPs) is presented. The proposed algorithm is composed of multiple search processes (SP...
Soft constraints extend classical constraints to deal with non-functional requirements, overconstrained problems and preferences. Bistarelli, Montanari and Rossi have developed a ...

This work presents a formal probabilistic approach for solving optimization problems in design automation. Prediction accuracy is very low especially at high levels of design flo...
In data integration applications, a join matches elements that are common to two data sources. Often, however, elements are represented slightly different in each source, so an app...
We introduce tree-width for first order formulae , fotw(). We show that computing fotw is fixed-parameter tractable with parameter fotw. Moreover, we show that on classes of formul...
