Improving the Global Constraint SoftPrec
A soft global constraint SOFTPREC has been proposed recently for solving optimisation problems involving precedence relations. In this paper we present new pruning rules for this g...

On Solving Soft Temporal Constraints Using SAT Techniques
In this paper, we present an algorithm for finding utilitarian optimal solutions to Simple and Disjunctive Temporal Problems with Preferences (STPPs and DTPPs) based on Benders’...

Extremal Problems of Information Combining
Abstract--In this paper, we study moments of soft bits of binary-input symmetric-output channels and solve some extremal problems of the moments. We use these results to solve the ...

Constraints of Difference and Equality: A Complete Taxonomic Characterisation
Abstract. Many combinatorial problems encountered in practice involve constraints that require that a set of variables take distinct or equal values. The AllDifferent constraint, i...

Lexicographically-ordered constraint satisfaction problems
Abstract. We describe a simple CSP formalism for handling multi-attribute preference problems with hard constraints, one that combines hard constraints and preferences so the two a...
