Combining various knowledge types - and reasoning methods - in knowledge-based systems is a challenge to the knowledge representation task. The paper describes an object-oriented,...
Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called natural proofs are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandomnumber generators do not exist. This famous result is ...
Abstract. In recent years we have witnessed the proliferation of semidefinite programming bounds in combinatorial optimization [1,5,8], quantum computing [9,2,3,6,4,16] and even in...
Abstract. We propose two algorithms achieving generalized arc consistency for the soft global cardinality constraint with variable-based violation and with value-based violation. T...
Abstract. We call verification the process of finding the actual explanation of a given set of manifestations. We consider an abductive setting, in which explanations are sets of a...
