We present a method for specifying temporal constraints on trajectories of dynamical systems and enforcing them during qualitative simulation. This capability can be used to focus...
Soft constraints are a generalization of classical constraints, which allow for the description of preferences rather than strict requirements. In soft constraints, constraints and...
through the specification of temporal, spatial and spatio-temporal relations. Moreover, we propose an abstract animation model that can be combined with the intra-media temporal st...
Soft constraints are a generalization of classical constraints, where constraints and/or partial assignments are associated to preference or importance levels, and constraints are...
Algorithmic skeletons can be used to write architecture independent programs, shielding application developers from the details of a parallel implementation. In this paper, we pre...
