We describe soft versions of the global cardinality constraint and the regular constraint, with efficient filtering algorithms maintaining domain consistency. For both constraints,...

Efficient acquisition of constraint networks is a key factor for the applicability of constraint problem solving methods. Current techniques ease knowledge acquisition by generati...
In this paper, we propose a personal navigation system (called PNS) which navigates a tourist through multiple destinations efficiently. In our PNS, a tourist can specify multiple...
In many distributed environments, the primary function of monitoring software is to detect anomalies, that is, instances when system behavior deviates substantially from the norm....

A significant challenge in genetic programming is premature convergence to local optima, which often prevents evolution from solving problems. This paper introduces to genetic pro...
