We present an algorithm for compressing table constraints representing allowed or disallowed tuples. This type of constraint is used for example in configuration problems, where t...
Abstract. This paper deals with the problem of solving efficiently structured CSPs. It is well known that (hyper)tree-decompositions offer the best approaches from a theoretical v...
The Open-Shop Problem is a hard problem that can be solved using Constraint Programming or Operation Research methods. Existing techniques are efficient at reducing the search tree...
Abstract. Sequence alignment is an important task for molecular biologists. Because alignment basically deals with approximate string matching on large biological sequence collecti...
Recently, the logics of minimal knowledge and negation as failure MKNF [12] was used to introduce hybrid MKNF knowledge bases [14], a powerful formalism for combining open and clos...
