Abstract. This article deals with global constraints for which the set of solutions can be recognized by an extended finite automaton whose size is bounded by a polynomial in n, w...
We give a simple formulation of Karr’s algorithm for computing all affine relationships in affine programs. This simplified algorithm runs in time O(nk3 ) where n is the progr...
Abstract. The problem of interpreting Natural Language (NL) discourse is generally of exponential complexity. However, since interactions with users must be conducted in real time,...
We consider the general on-line two server problem in which at each step both servers receive a request, which is a point in a metric space. One of the servers has to be moved to i...
Constraints have played a central role in cp because they capture key substructures of a problem and efficiently exploit them to boost inference. This paper intends to do the same ...
