Non-binary constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) can be solved in two different ways. We can either translate the problem into an equivalent binary one and solve it using well-e...
Planning and scheduling attracts an unceasing attention of computer science community. Several research areas like Artificial Intelligence, Operations Research and Constraint Prog...
An important issue of the service oriented approach is the possibility to aggregate, through programmable coordination patterns, the activities involved by service interactions. T...
