Preferences in constraint problems are common but significant in many real world applications. In this paper, we extend our conditional and composite CSP (CCCSP) framework, managi...
In many real-life optimisation problems, there are multiple interacting components in a solution. For example, different components might specify assignments to different kinds of...

We propose an efficient method that applies directed soft arc consistency to a Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) which is a fundamental framework of multi-agent ...
Abstract. In the last decades, the Satisfiability and Constraint Satisfaction Problem frameworks were extended to integrate aspects such as uncertainties, partial observabilities, ...
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...
