Pattern analysis consists in determining the shape of the set of solutions of the constraint store at some program points. Our basic claim is that pattern analyses can all be desc...
Answer-set programming (ASP) has emerged recently as a viable programming paradigm well attuned to search problems in AI, constraint satisfaction and combinatorics. Propositional ...
Constraint programming uses enumeration and search tree pruning to solve combinatorial optimization problems. In order to speed up this solution process, we investigate the use of...
Abstract. Existing constraint programming systems offer a fixed set of inference engines implementing search strategies such as single, all, and best solution search. This is unfo...
Abstract. Abductive Logic Programming (ALP) and Constraint Logic Programming (CLP) share the feature to constrain the set of possible solutions to a program via integrity or CLP co...
