Ranking systems are a fundamental ingredient of multi-agent environments and Internet Technologies. These settings can be viewed as social choice settings with two distinguished p...
Motivated by the performance improvements made to SAT solvers in recent years, a number of different encodings of constraints into SAT have been proposed. Concrete examples are th...
In this paper we argue that an attractive and potentially very general way of achieving generalized arc consistency (GAC) on a constraint is by using unit propagation (UP) over a C...
In this paper we present new techniques for improving backtracking based Quantified Constraint Satisfaction Problem (QCSP) solvers. QCSP is a generalization of CSP in which variab...
We address the problem of standardising the semantics of agent communication. The diversity of existing approaches suggests that no single agent communication language can satisfac...
