In this paper we show how Constraint Programming (CP) techniques can improve the efficiency and applicability of grid-based algorithms for optimising surface contact between comple...
Self-adaptation is imposing as a key characteristic of many modern software systems to tackle their complexity and cope with the many environments in which they can operate. Self-a...
Commonsense knowledge often omits the temporal incidence of facts, and even the ordering between occurrences is only available for some of their instances. Reasoning about the temp...
Planning and scheduling attracts an unceasing attention of computer science community. Several research areas like Artificial Intelligence, Operations Research and Constraint Prog...
Semistructured data occur in situations where information lacks a homogeneous structure and is incomplete. Yet, up to now the incompleteness of information has not been re ected b...
