Abstract. The building behaviour of termites has previously been modelled mathematically in two dimensions. However, physical and logistic constraints were not taken into account i...
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...
In the context of relational as well as deductive databases, correct and efficient integrity checking is a crucial issue, as, without any guarantee of data consistency, the answers...
Abstract. Software applications are inevitably concerned with data integrity, whether the data is stored in a database, files, or program memory. An integrity guard is code execut...
Many researchers in our community (this author included) regularly emphasize the role constraints play in improving performance of data-mining algorithms. This emphasis has led to ...
