Abstract. Many "semiring-like" structures are used in Soft Constraint Satisfaction Problems (SCSPs). We review a few properties of semirings that are useful for dealing w...
Initial value problems for parametric ordinary differential equations (ODEs) arise in many areas of science and engineering. Since some of the data is uncertain, traditional numer...

Both parametric design tasks and analysis tasks of technical systems have a similar problem setting: The structure of the system to be configured or analyzed is defined already. W...
Interactive configuration is the concept of assisting a user in selecting values for parameters that respect given constraints. It was originally inspired by the product configurat...
