Preferences in constraint problems are common but significant in many real world applications. In this paper, we extend our conditional and composite CSP (CCCSP) framework, managi...
Changing preferences is very common in real life. The expressive power of the operations of preference change introduced so far in the literature is limited to adding new informat...

Abstract. Scheduling meetings is generally difficult in that it attempts to satisfy the preferences of all participants. However, all participants can agree to a schedule in which...
Abstract. Intelligent agents have to be able to merge inputs received from different sources in a coherent and rational way. Recently, several proposals have been made for the merg...
Abstract. Dialogue moves influence and are influenced by the agents’ preferences. We propose a method for modelling this interaction. We motivate and describe a recursive metho...
