We have started a systematic study of global constraints on set and multiset variables. We consider here disjoint, partition, and intersection constraints in conjunction with cardi...
We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
In portable multimedia systems a number of communicating tasks has to be performed on a set of heterogeneous processors. This should be done in an energy-efficient way. We give th...
In this paper, we present a precise characterization of the existence of a convergent transfer subgraph in an edge colored directed acyclic graph. Based on the characterization, l...
A central issue in logical concept induction is the prospect of inconsistency. This problem may arise due to noise in the training data, or because the target concept does not fit...
