As opposed to finite domain CSPs, arc consistency cannot be enforced, in general, on CSPs over the reals, including very simple instances. In contrast, a stronger property, the s...
Distributed systems can often be modeled as a collection of distributed (system) variables whose values are constrained by a set of constraints. In distributed multi-agent systems...

We provide a reformulation of the constraint hierarchies (CHs) framework based on the notion of error indicators. Adapting the generalized view of local consistency in semiring-ba...

One central issue in system structuring and quality prediction is the interdependencies of system modules. This paper proposes a novel technique for determining the operational co...
Abstract. This paper studies how to verify the conformity of a program with its specification and proposes a novel constraint-programming framework for bounded program verification...
