This paper introduces a global constraint encapsulating a regular constraint together with several cumulative costs. It is motivated in the context of personnel scheduling problems...
Open forms of global constraints allow the addition of new variables to an argument during the execution of a constraint program. Such forms are needed for difficult constraint pro...
Abstract— Multiple robots are often faster and more faulttolerant than single robots for applications such as planetary exploration and search and rescue. We study applications w...

This paper introduces DEVIATION, a soft global constraint to obtain balanced solutions. A violation measure of the perfect balance can be defined as the Lp norm of the vector vari...

Many optimisation problems contain substructures involving constraints on sequences of decision variables. Such constraints can be very complex to express with mixed integer progra...
