An attractive mechanism to specify global constraints in rostering and other domains is via formal languages. For instance, the REGULAR and GRAMMAR constraints specify constraints ...
This paper introduces a global constraint encapsulating a regular constraint together with several cumulative costs. It is motivated in the context of personnel scheduling problems...
Open forms of global constraints allow the addition of new variables to an argument during the execution of a constraint program. Such forms are needed for difficult constraint pro...
Evolution is usually described as a phylogenetic tree, but due to some exchange of genetic material, it can be represented as a phylogenetic network which has an underlying tree st...
