We present a method for finding optimal partial solutions to overconstrained instances of the Disjunctive Temporal Problems (DTP). The solutions are optimal in that they satisfy ...
We present a method for specifying temporal constraints on trajectories of dynamical systems and enforcing them during qualitative simulation. This capability can be used to focus...
In their work on tractable deduction systems, D. McAllester and later D. Basin and H. Ganzinger have identified a property of inference systems (the locality property) that ensures...
In this paper we address the problem of global real-time periodic scheduling on heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms. We give a solution based on a constraint satisfaction proble...
We propose a framework for deployment and subsequent autonomic management of component-based distributed applications. An initial deployment goal is specified using a declarative ...
