Abstract: This paper introduces six ways for handling a chain of lexicographic ordering constraint between the origins of identical orthotopes (e.g., rectangles, boxes, hyper-recta...
Abstract. This paper reconsiders the deployment of synchronous optical networks (SONET), an optimization problem naturally expressed in terms of set variables. Earlier approaches, ...
Reformulating constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) in lower arity is a common procedure when computing consistency. Lower arity CSPs are simpler to treat than high arity CSPs. ...
We extend a planning algorithm to cover simple forms of arithmetics. The operator preconditions can refer to the values of numeric variables and the operator postconditions can mod...
We identify a new and important global (or nonbinary) constraint which ensures that the values taken by two vectors of variables, when viewed as multisets, are ordered. This const...
