Improved Algorithm for the Soft Global Cardinality Constraint
Abstract. We propose two algorithms achieving generalized arc consistency for the soft global cardinality constraint with variable-based violation and with value-based violation. T...

Constraint Partitioning for Solving Planning Problems with Trajectory Constraints and Goal Preferences
The PDDL3 specifications include soft goals and trajectory constraints for distinguishing highquality plans among the many feasible plans in a solution space. To reduce the compl...

A Soft Constraint of Equality: Complexity and Approximability
We introduce the SoftAllEqual global constraint, which maximizes the number of equalities holding between pairs of assignments to a set of variables. We study the computational com...

Open Constraints in a Boundable World
Open forms of global constraints allow the addition of new variables to an argument during the execution of a constraint program. Such forms are needed for difficult constraint pro...

Cost Evaluation of Soft Global Constraints
This paper shows that existing definitions of costs associated with soft global constraints are not sufficient to deal with all the usual global constraints. We propose more expre...
