In case a CSP is over-constrained, it is natural to allow some constraints, called soft constraints, to be violated. We propose a generic method to soften global constraints that c...

A global cardinality constraint (gcc) is specified in terms of a set of variables X = {x1, ..., xp} which take their values in a subset of V = {v1, ..., vd}. It constrains the numb...
Abstract. We propose generalizations of the Global Cardinality Constraint (gcc) in which a partition of the variables is given. In the context of resource allocation problems, such...
The Extended Global Cardinality Constraint (EGCC) is a vital component of constraint solving systems, since it is very widely used to model diverse problems. The literature contai...
Accurately estimating the cardinality of aggregate views is crucial for logical and physical design of data warehouses. While the warehouse is under development and data are not a...
