On global warming: Flow-based soft global constraints
In case a CSP is over-constrained, it is natural to allow some constraints, called soft constraints, to be violated. We propose a generic method to soften global constraints that c...

Constraint Partitioning for Solving Planning Problems with Trajectory Constraints and Goal Preferences
The PDDL3 specifications include soft goals and trajectory constraints for distinguishing highquality plans among the many feasible plans in a solution space. To reduce the compl...
