Consistencies are properties of Constraint Networks (CNs) that can be exploited in order to make inferences. When a significant amount of such inferences can be performed, CNs ar...
Today, object-oriented requirements specifications typically combine a scenario (or use case) model and a class model for expressing functional requirements. With any such combina...
A core problem in Model Driven Engineering is model consistency achievement: all models must satisfy relationships constraining them. Active consistency techniques monitor and cont...

Multi-viewpoint approaches allow stakeholders to design a system from stakeholder-specific viewpoints. By this, a separation of concerns is achieved, which makes designs more mana...
In trust negotiation and other distributed proving systems, networked entities cooperate to form proofs that are justified by collections of certified attributes. These attributes...
As users interact with an increasing array of personal computing devices, maintaining consistency of data across those devices becomes significantly more difficult. Typical soluti...

Viewpoints are re ections of software systems from multiple perspectives. A number of consistency conditions apply to viewpoints and developers require a tool for each type of vie...
A warehouse is a data repository containing integrated information for e cient querying and analysis. Maintaining the consistency of warehouse data is challenging, especially if t...
Many constraint satisfaction problems can be naturally and efficiently modelled using non-binary constraints like the “all-different” and “global cardinality” constraints...
Abstract. In constraint networks, the efficiency of a search algorithm is strongly related to the local consistency maintained during search. For a long time, it has been consider...
