We present algebraic conditions on constraint languages Γ that ensure the hardness of the constraint satisfaction problem CSP(Γ) for complexity classes L, NL, P, NP and ModpL. Th...
Decision making processes and systems to support the same have focused for the most part on narrow disciplines, paradigms, perspectives, and pre-determined processes. Apart from t...
Consistent query answering is the problem of computing the answers from a database that are consistent with respect to certain integrity constraints that the database as a whole ma...

This paper proposes two new methods for optimizing objectives and constraints. The GP approach is very general and hardware resources in finite wordlength implementation of it allo...
We investigate the preemptive scheduling of periodic tasks with hard deadlines. We show that, even in the uniprocessor case, no polynomial time algorithm can test the feasibility ...
