From soft constraints to bipolar preferences: modelling framework and solving issues
Real-life problems present several kinds of preferences. We focus on problems with both positive and negative preferences, that we call bipolar preference problems. Although seemi...

Reasoning about Actions and Planning with Preferences Using Prioritized Default Theory
This paper shows how action theories, expressed in an extended version of the language B, can be naturally encoded using Prioritized Default Theory. We also show how prioritized d...

Utility Functions for Ceteris Paribus Preferences
Although ceteris paribus preference statements concisely represent one natural class of preferences over outcomes or goals, many applications of such preferences require numeric u...

Efficiency and Envy-freeness in Fair Division of Indivisible Goods: Logical Representation and Complexity
We consider the problem of allocating fairly a set of indivisible goods among agents from the point of view of compact representation and computational complexity. We start by ass...
