Bipolar Preference Problems: Framework, Properties and Solving Techniques
Real-life problems present several kinds of preferences. We focus on problems with both positive and negative preferences, that we call bipolar preference problems. Although seemin...

A C-tree decomposition algorithm for 2D and 3D geometric constraint solving
In this paper, we propose a method which can be used to decompose a 2D or 3D constraint problem into a C-tree. With this decomposition, a geometric constraint problem can be reduc...
