In this paper, we present a rule-based modelling language for constraint programming, called Rules2CP. Unlike other modelling languages, Rules2CP adopts a single knowledge represen...
Preferences in constraint problems are common but significant in many real world applications. In this paper, we extend our conditional and composite CSP (CCCSP) framework, managi...
In real-life temporal scenarios, uncertainty and preferences are often essential, coexisting aspects. We present a formalism where temporal constraints with both preferences and un...

Abstract. We describe a simple CSP formalism for handling multi-attribute preference problems with hard constraints, one that combines hard constraints and preferences so the two a...
