In the 1820's Fourier provided the first algorithm for solving linear arithmetic constraints. In other words, this algorithm determines whether or not the polyhedral set asso...
We propose to integrate ACO in a Constraint Programming (CP) language. Basically, we use the CP language to describe the problem to solve by means of constraints and we use the CP ...
As software systems evolve by adding new extensions some unexpected conflicts may occur, which is known as the Feature Interaction Problem (FIP). FIP is a threat to the dependabil...
: We show that estimating the complexity (mean and distribution) of the instances of a fixed size Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) can be very hard. We deal with the main two ...
This paper presents a dependency constraint language that allows software architects to restrict the spectrum of dependencies that can be presented in a given software system. The ...
