This paper discusses the application of a previously reported theory of explanation rhetoric (Maybury, 1988b) to the task of explaining constraint violations in a hybrid rule/fram...
Many real-world search and optimization problems naturally involve constraint handling. Recently, quite a few heuristic methods were proposed to solve the nonlinear constrained op...
This paper presents a comparative study of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) for Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). We focus on EAs where fitness is based on penalization of cons...

In recent years, many works have been carried out to solve over-constrained problems, and more speci cally the Maximal Constraint Satisfaction Problem (Max-CSP), where the goal is ...
Frequent constraint violations on the data stored in a database may suggest that the semantics of the represented reality is changing. In this work we propose a methodology and a t...
The most common reason for plan repair are the violation of a plan’s temporal constraints. Air Traffic Control is an example of an area in which violations of the plan’s tempo...
