Over-constrained problems can be solved with the help of soft constraints. Weighted constraints are a typical representation of soft constraints used to minimize weights of unsati...
Association mining explores algorithms capable of detecting frequently co-occurring items in transactions. A transaction can be identified with a market basket—a list of items ...
The distribution of illnesses reported by emergency departments from hospitals in a region under surveillance is particularly informative for the early detection of epidemics. The...
One challenge in text processing is the treatment of case insensitive documents such as speech recognition results. The traditional approach is to re-train a language model exclud...

This research concerns the comparison of three different artificial evolution approaches for the design of cooperative behavior in a group of simulated mobile robots. The first an...
The goal of the MavHome smart home project is to build an intelligent home environment that is aware of its inhabitants and their activities. Such a home is designed to provide ma...
Freuder in (1991) defined interchangeability for classical Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Recently (2002), we extended the definition of interchangeability to Soft CSP...
