Abstract. Among, Common and Disjoint are global constraints useful in modelling problems involving resources. We study a number of variations of these constraints over integer and ...
The algorithm presented here, BCC, is an enhancement of the well known Backtrack used to solve constraint satisfaction problems. Though most backtrack improvements rely on propaga...
Abstract. Automata-based decision procedures commonly achieve optimal complexity bounds. However, in practice, they are often outperformed by sub-optimal (but more local-search bas...
The complexity and the variety of the deployed timedependent systems, as well as the high degree of reliability required for their global functioning, justify the care provided to...

We state and solve the query reformulation problem for XML publishing in a general setting that allows mixed (XML and relational) storage for the proprietary data and exploits redu...
