We investigate soft open constraints. We generalize and unify classes of soft constraints and adapt them to the open setting. We give sufficient conditions for generalized classes ...
Millions of containers are stowed every week with goods worth billions of dollars, but container vessel stowage is an all but neglected combinatorial optimization problem. In this ...
Abstract. VLSI chips design is becoming increasingly complex and calling for more and more automation. Many chip design problems can be formulated naturally as constraint problems ...

A problem that is inherent to the development and efficient use of solvers is that of tuning parameters. The CP community has a long history of addressing this task automatically. ...
Multi-objective optimization is concerned with problems involving multiple measures of performance which should be optimized simultaneously. In this paper, we extend AND/OR Branch-...
