Complexity of Clausal Constraints Over Chains
We investigate the complexity of the satisfiability problem of constraints over finite totally ordered domains. In our context, a clausal constraint is a disjunction of inequaliti...

Quantified Positive Temporal Constraints
Abstract. A positive temporal template (or a positive temporal constraint language) is a relational structure whose relations can be defined over countable dense linear order witho...

An Improved Integer Local Search for Complex Scheduling Problems
We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...

Soft arc consistency revisited
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...

Cost Evaluation of Soft Global Constraints
This paper shows that existing definitions of costs associated with soft global constraints are not sufficient to deal with all the usual global constraints. We propose more expre...
