We define general algebraic frameworks for shortest-distance problems based on the structure of semirings. We give a generic algorithm for finding single-source shortest distances...
In this paper we introduce an extension of propositional logic that allows clauses to be weighted with values from a generic semiring. The main interest of this extension is that ...
We study generalized fixed-point equations over idempotent semirings and provide an efficient algorithm for the detection whether a sequence of Kleene's iterations stabilizes ...
Soft constraints extend classical constraints to deal with non-functional requirements, overconstrained problems and preferences. Bistarelli, Montanari and Rossi have developed a ...

Soft constraints based on semirings are a generalization of classical constraints, where tuples of variables' values in each soft constraint are uniquely associated to element...
