Asynchronous Partial Overlay (APO) is a search algorithm that uses cooperative mediation to solve Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DisCSPs). The algorithm partitions ...
The most important part of a firewall configuration process is the implementation of a security policy by a security administrator. However, this security policy is not designed b...
Abstract. We propose a hybrid approach for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem which is an extremely hard to solve combinatorial optimization problem of pra...
Abstract. This work considers the problem of approximating fixed predicate constraint satisfaction problems (MAX k-CSP(P)). We show that if the set of assignments accepted by P co...
Abstract. We present a new constraint system called INES. Its constraints are conjunctions of inclusions t1 t2 between rst-order terms (without set operators) which are interpreted...
