Dual Consistency (DC) is a property of Constraint Networks (CNs) which is equivalent, in its unrestricted form, to Path Consistency (PC). The principle is to perform successive sin...
Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) provide a model often used in Artificial Intelligence. Since the problem of the existence of a solution in a CSP is an NP-complete task, man...
Despite the widespread and growing use of asynchronous copies to improve scalability, performance and availability, this practice still lacks a firm semantic foundation. Applicati...
Traditional methods for integrity checking in relational or deductive databases heavily rely on the assumption that data have integrity before the execution of updates. In this wa...
Abstract. Here we introduce DePathos, a graphical tool for a timetabling constraint engine (Pathos). Since the core of Pathos is textbased and provides little user-interaction, fi...
