We describe soft versions of the global cardinality constraint and the regular constraint, with efficient filtering algorithms maintaining domain consistency. For both constraints,...

In this paper, we present a complete analysis of redundant relationships in the entity-relationship model. Existing approaches use the concept of functional dependencies for ident...
A genetic algorithm encoding is proposed which is able to automatically satisfy a class of important cardinality constraints where the set of distinct values of the design variabl...
Current models for cardinal directions, such as north and northeast, are either point-based or region-based, but no models exist that apply equally, independent of the geometric d...
XML Schema supports the specification of occurrence constraints by declaring values for its min/maxOccurs attributes. These constraints are structural in the sense that they rest...
