This paper focuses on the problem of scheduling outages to computer systems in complex distributed environments. The interconnected nature of these systems makes scheduling global ...
The fundamental Quality of Service (QoS) routing problem, which consists in determining paths subject to multiple QoS constraints, has been extensively investigated in the intra-do...
Soft constraints extend classical constraints to deal with non-functional requirements, overconstrained problems and preferences. Bistarelli, Montanari and Rossi have developed a ...

This paper constructs a logic of soft constraints where the set of degrees of preference forms a partially ordered set. When the partially ordered set is a distributive lattice, th...
