In this paper we describe a new approach to repairing violations of integrity constraints in databases with null values. By adopting basic concepts from model-based diagnosis, we ...
A central service of a constraint programming system is search. In almost all constraint programming systems search is based on trailing, which is well understood and known to be ...
We address the problem of merging qualitative constraint networks (QCNs) representing agents local preferences or beliefs on the relative position of spatial or temporal entities. ...
Constraints and quantitative preferences, or costs, are very useful for modelling many real-life problems. However, in many settings, it is difficult to specify precise preference ...

We study revision programming, a logic-based mechanism for enforcing constraints on databases. The central concept of this approach is that of a justi ed revision based on a revisi...
