A Dichotomy for 2-Constraint Forbidden CSP Patterns
Novel tractable classes of the binary CSP (constraint satisfaction problem) have recently been discovered by studying classes of instances defined by excluding subproblems descri...

Towards a decentralised hierarchical architecture for smart grids
We present a hierarchical distributed communication and control architecture for Smart Grids. The proposed topology consists of multiple layers to allow for robust and flexible d...

Near Unanimity Constraints Have Bounded Pathwidth Duality
—We show that if a finite relational structure has a near unanimity polymorphism, then the constraint satisfaction problem with that structure as its fixed template has bounded...

Hierarchically Nested Convex VCSP
We introduce tractable classes of VCSP instances based on convex cost functions. Firstly, we show that the class of VCSP instances satisfying the hierarchically nested convexity pr...

Pruning Rules for Constrained Optimisation for Conditional Preferences
A depth-first search algorithm can be used to find optimal solutions of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) with respect to a set of conditional preferences statements (e.g.,...

Declarative data-driven coordination
Many data-driven social and Web applications involve collaboration and coordination. The vision of declarative data-driven coordination (D3C), proposed in [9], is to support coord...

A Generalized Cyclic-Clustering Approach for Solving Structured CSPs
We propose a new method for solving structured CSPs which generalizes and improves the Cyclic-Clustering approach [4]. First, the cutset and the tree-decomposition of the constrai...

Global Multiprocessor Real-Time Scheduling as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem
In this paper we address the problem of global real-time periodic scheduling on heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms. We give a solution based on a constraint satisfaction proble...

On Quadratic Threshold CSPs
A predicate P : {−1, 1}k → {0, 1} can be associated with a constraint satisfaction problem Max CSP(P). P is called “approximation resistant” if Max CSP(P) cannot be approxi...
