A Maximal Tractable Class of Soft Constraints
Many optimization problems can be expressed us­ ing some form of soft constraints, where different measures of desirability arc associated with differ­ ent combinations of domai...

Hybrid tractability of soft constraint problems
The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a central generic problem in artificial intelligence. Considerable effort has been made in identifying properties which ensure tractabi...

A Soft Constraint of Equality: Complexity and Approximability
We introduce the SoftAllEqual global constraint, which maximizes the number of equalities holding between pairs of assignments to a set of variables. We study the computational com...

Maximizing Supermodular Functions on Product Lattices, with Application to Maximum Constraint Satisfaction
Recently, a strong link has been discovered between supermodularity on lattices and tractability of optimization problems known as maximum constraint satisfaction problems. The pre...

Tractable Optimal Competitive Scheduling
In this paper we describe the problem of Optimal Competitive Scheduling, which consists of activities that compete for a shared resource. The objective is to choose a subset of ac...
