Parameterized Complexity of Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We prove a parameterized analog of Schaefer’s Dichotomy Theorem: we show that for every finite boolean constraint family F, deciding whether a formula containing constraints fr...

Conflict-Directed A* Search for Soft Constraints
As many real-world problems involve user preferences, costs, or probabilities, constraint satisfaction has been extended to optimization by generalizing hard constraints to soft co...

A semantic web approach to handling soft constraints in virtual organisations
In this paper we present a proposal for representing soft constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) within the Semantic Web architecture. The proposal is motivated by the need for a...
