Abstract. In this doctoral work we aim at developing a new approach to labelled semantics and equivalences for the Concurrent Constraint Programming (CCP) which will enable a broad...
The declarative modeling language Alloy and its automatic analyzer provide an effective tool-set for building designs of systems and checking their properties. The Alloy Analyzer p...
To model combinatorial decision problems involving uncertainty and probability, we extend the stochastic constraint programming framework proposed in [Walsh, 2002] along a number ...
Given an algorithm A for solving some mathematical problem based on the iterative solution of simpler subproblems, an Outer Trust-Region (OTR) modification of A is the result of ...

We use a lexicographical preference order on the problem space to combine solution synthesis with conflict learning. Given two preferred solutions of two subproblems, we can either...
