The Fuzzy Constraint Networks model, a generalization of the Disjunctive Temporal Fuzzy Constraint Networks, is a framework that allows representing and reasoning with fuzzy qualit...
The concept of consistency has pervaded studies of the constraint satisfaction problem. We introduce two concepts, which are inspired by consistency, for the more general framewor...
Many optimization problems can be expressed us ing some form of soft constraints, where different measures of desirability arc associated with differ ent combinations of domai...

Cardinality constraints or, more generally, weight constraints are well recognized as an important extension of answer-set programming. Clearly, all common algorithmic tasks relat...
By using recent results from graph theory, including the Strong Perfect Graph Theorem, we obtain a unifying framework for a number of tractable classes of constraint problems. Thes...
