Controllability of Soft Temporal Constraint Problems
In real-life temporal scenarios, uncertainty and preferences are often essential, coexisting aspects. We present a formalism where temporal constraints with both preferences and un...

The Cardinality Matrix Constraint
Cardinality matrix problems are the underlying structure of several real world problems such as rostering, sports scheduling , and timetabling. These are hard computational problem...

Understanding Random SAT: Beyond the Clauses-to-Variables Ratio
It is well known that the ratio of the number of clauses to the number of variables in a random k-SAT instance is highly correlated with the instance’s empirical hardness. We con...

Quality of LP-Based Approximations for Highly Combinatorial Problems
We study the quality of LP-based approximation methods for pure combinatorial problems. We found that the quality of the LPrelaxation is a direct function of the underlying constra...

Global Constraints for Integer and Set Value Precedence
The paper introduces value precedence on integer and set sequences. A useful application of the notion is in breaking symmetries of indistinguishable values, an important class of ...
