Finite domain propagation solvers effectively represent the possible values of variables by a set of choices which can be naturally modelled as Boolean variables. In this paper we...
Preferences and uncertainty are common in many real-life problems. In this paper, we focus on bipolar preferences and on uncertainty modelled via uncontrollable variables. However,...

Abstract. In this paper we investigate the ways in which a fixed collection of valued constraints can be combined to express other valued constraints. We show that in some cases a ...

The Airline Crew Assignment Problem (ACA) consists of assigning lines of work to a set of crew members such that a set of activities is partitioned and the costs for that assignmen...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) and contingency planning (CP) are two widely used approaches to planning under uncertainty. MDPs are attractive because the model is extremely gen...
