We present an efficient approach to adding soft constraints, in the form of preferences, to Disjunctive Temporal Problems (DTPs) and their subclass Temporal Constraint Satisfactio...
We consider the problem of solving a symmetric, positive definite system of linear equations. The most well-known and widely-used method for solving such systems is the preconditi...
The lack of structured methodologies and software engineering efforts on designing the support of contextawareness in pervasive systems hinders the potential advantages of analyzi...

Sustainable resource management in many domains presents large continuous stochastic optimization problems, which can often be modeled as Markov decision processes (MDPs). To solv...
The competitive layer model (CLM) can be described by an optimization problem. The problem can be further formulated by an energy function, called the CLM energy function, in the s...
