Abstract When searching for information about historical events, queries are naturally formulated using temporal constraints. However, the structured temporal information needed to...

Nonlinear constraint systems can be solved by combining consistency techniques and search. In this approach, the search space is reduced using local reasoning on constraints. Howev...
Abstract. Constraints and preferences are ubiquitous in real-life. Moreover, preferences can be of many kinds: qualitative, quantitative, conditional, positive or negative, to name...
Temporal Constraint Satisfaction Problems allow for reasoning with events happening over time. Their expressiveness has been extended independently in two directions: to account f...

Abstract. Establishing local consistency is one of the main algorithmic techniques in temporal and spatial reasoning. In this area, one of the central questions for the various pro...
