Nominal techniques were introduced to represent in a simple and natural way that involve binders. The syntax includes an abstraction operator and a primitive notion of name swappin...
DPOP is an algorithm for distributed constraint optimization which has, as main drawback, the exponential size of some of its messages. Recently, some algorithms for distributed c...
Abstract. Thanks to its extended expressiveness, the quantified constraint satisfaction problem (QCSP) can be used to model problems that are difficult to express in the standard C...
Abstract. Constraint solving problems (CSPs) represent a formalization of an important class of problems in computer science. We propose here a solving methodology based on the nam...
Many planning and design problems can be characterized as optimal search over a constrained network of conditional choices with preferences. To draw upon the advanced methods of c...
