Abstract. Over the past years, a number of increasingly expressive languages for modelling constraint and optimisation problems have evolved. In developing a strategy to ease the c...
The graph isomorphism problem consists in deciding if two given graphs have an identical structure. This problem can be modeled as a constraint satisfaction problem in a very strai...
Abstract. Constraint programming based column generation is a hybrid optimization framework recently proposed that uses constraint programming (CP) to solve column generation subpr...

So far, edge-finding is the only one major filtering algorithm for unary resource constraint with time complexity O(n log n). This paper proposes O(n log n) versions of another t...
To improve solution robustness, we introduce the concept of super solutions to constraint programming. An (a, b)-super solution is one in which if a variables lose their values, th...
We describe using Case Based Reasoning to explore structure at the instance level as a means to distinguish whether to use CP or IP to solve instances of the Bid Evaluation Problem...
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...
