We study the approximability of two natural Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: Horn satisfiability and exact hitting set. Under the Unique Games conjecture, we prove the fo...
ORM (Object-Role Modeling) is a rich and well-known conceptual modeling method. As ORM has a formal semantics, reasoning tasks such as satisfiability checking of an ORM schema natu...
Abstract. This paper offers a critique of the framework of Constraint Satisfaction Problems. While this framework has been successful in studying search techniques, and has inspire...
Multi-way dataflow constraints are very useful in the development of collaborative applications, such as collaborative CAD and CASE systems, but satisfying multi-way dataflow cons...
