This paper presents a parameterized schema for interval constraint branching that (with suitable instantiations of the parameters) can solve interval constraint satisfaction probl...
In this paper, we study a flexible piecewise approximation technique based on the use of the idea of the partition of unity. The approximations are piecewisely defined, globally sm...
Constraint satisfaction has been applied with great success in closed-world scenarios, where all options and constraints are known from the beginning and fixed. With the internet,...
Schaefer's theorem is a complexity classification result for so-called Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: it states that every Boolean constraint satisfaction problem ...
This paper is concerned with an employee scheduling problem involving multiple shifts and work centers, where employees belong to a hierarchy of categories having downward substitu...
