The Fuzzy Constraint Networks model, a generalization of the Disjunctive Temporal Fuzzy Constraint Networks, is a framework that allows representing and reasoning with fuzzy qualit...
Abiteboul et al. initiated the systematic study of distributed XML documents consisting of several logical parts, possibly located on different machines. The physical distributio...
The concept of consistency has pervaded studies of the constraint satisfaction problem. We introduce two concepts, which are inspired by consistency, for the more general framewor...
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...
