The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a general framework encompassing many optimisation problems. We discuss precisely what it means for a problem to be modelled in...
The production of specimen for microsystems or microcomponents is both, time and material-consuming. In a traditional design process the number of possible variations which can be ...

Sequence alignment is an important problem in computational biology. We compare two different approaches to the problem of optimally aligning two or more character strings: bounde...
We examine the approach of encoding planning problems as CSPs more closely. First we present a simple CSP encoding for planning problems and then a set of transformations that can...
Decentralized Markov Decision Processes are a powerful general model of decentralized, cooperative multi-agent problem solving. The high complexity of the general problem leads to...
