In order to apply texture measurement based heuristic commitment techniques beyond the unary capacity resource constraints of job shop scheduling, we extend the contention texture...

Abstract. A well studied and difficult class of scheduling problems concerns parallel machines and precedence constraints. In order to model more realistic situations, we consider ...
Abstract. We apply model checking of knowledge properties to the design of distributed controllers that enforce global constraints on concurrent systems. We calculate when processe...
Executable UML allows precisely describing the software system at level of abstraction. The executable models can be translated to a less programming language completely or execute...
: This paper shows how the Asynchronous Backtracking (Yokoo et al., 1998) algorithm, a well known distributed constraint satisfaction algorithm, produces unnecessary messages and i...
