— Constraints play an important role in the efficient query evaluation in deductive databases. In this paper, constraint-based query evaluation in deductive databases is investi...
We consider the problem of max-min fair allocation of indivisible goods. Our focus will be on the restricted version of the problem in which there are m items, each of which assoc...
Various real-life datasets can be viewed as a set of records consisting of attributes explaining the records and set of measures evaluating the records. In this paper, we address t...
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...

In this paper, a new symmetry-based genetic clustering algorithm is proposed which automatically evolves the number of clusters as well as the proper partitioning from a data set. ...
