Kolaitis and Vardi pointed out that constraint satisfaction and conjunctive query containment are essentially the same problem. We study the Boolean conjunctive queries under a mor...

Finite domain propagation solving, the basis of constraint programming (CP) solvers, allows building very high-level models of problems, and using highly specific inference encapsu...
Abstract- This paper proposes an evolutionary approach for the composition of solutions in an incremental way. The approach is based on the metaphor of transitions in complexity di...

This paper shows that existing definitions of costs associated with soft global constraints are not sufficient to deal with all the usual global constraints. We propose more expre...
: Crystal lattices are discrete models of the three-dimensional space that have been effectively employed to facilitate the task of determining proteins' natural conformation....
