—Context, the pieces of information that capture the characteristics of ubiquitous computing environment, is often imprecise and incomplete due to user mobility, unreliable wirel...
In a constraint optimization problem (COP), many feasible valuations lead to the same objective value. This often means a huge search space and poor performance in the propagation...
The study of random instances of NP complete and coNP complete problems has had much impact on our understanding of the nature of hard problems. In this work, we initiate an effor...
