This article deals with the resolution of over-constrained problems using constraint programming, which often imposes to add to the constraint network new side constraints. These ...
Soft constraints are a generalization of classical constraints, where constraints and/or partial assignments are associated to preference or importance levels, and constraints are...
The state-of-the-art global constraint for bin packing is due to Shaw. We compare two linear continuous relaxations of the bin packing problem, based on the DP-flow and Arc-flow ...
Explanations are a technique for reasoning about constraint propagation, which have been applied in many learning, backjumping and user-interaction algorithms for constraint progra...
