We describe soft versions of the global cardinality constraint and the regular constraint, with efficient filtering algorithms maintaining domain consistency. For both constraints,...

This paper addresses the issue of how to meet the strict timing constraints of (soft) real-time virtualized applications while the Virtual Machine (VM) hosting them is undergoing a...
Combinations of evolutionary based approaches with local search have provided very good results for a variety of scheduling problems. This paper describes the development of such a...
Many important combinatorial optimization problems can be expressed as constraint satisfaction problems with soft constraints. When problems are too difficult to be solved exactly,...
This paper addresses the scheduling problem of radar dwells in multi-function phase array radars. Well-known and new challenges make it difficult to provide predictable performan...
