Modeling, Matching and Ranking Services Based on Constraint Hardness
A framework for modeling Semantic Web Service is proposed. It is based on Description Logic (DL), hence it is endowed with a formal semantics and, in addition, it allows for expres...

Constraint Propagation for Soft Constraints: Generalization and Termination Conditions
Soft constraints based on semirings are a generalization of classical constraints, where tuples of variables' values in each soft constraint are uniquely associated to element...

Distributed Non-binary Constraints
Nowadays many real problems can be modeled as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). In many situations, it is desirable to be able to state both hard constraints and soft constr...

Clustering with Soft and Group Constraints
Several clustering algorithms equipped with pairwise hard constraints between data points are known to improve the accuracy of clustering solutions. We develop a new clustering alg...

Evaluation-Based Semiring Meta-constraints
Abstract. Classical constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) provide an expressive formalism for describing and solving many real-world problems. However, classical CSPs prove to be...

An Improved Integer Local Search for Complex Scheduling Problems
We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...

A Mixed-Integer Program for Drawing High-Quality Metro Maps
In this paper we investigate the problem of drawing metro maps which is defined as follows. Given a planar graph G of maximum degree 8 with its embedding and vertex locations (e.g...
