Temporal constraint networks

TLDR
It is shown that the STP, which subsumes the major part of Vilain and Kautz's point algebra, can be solved in polynomial time and the applicability of path consistency algorithms as preprocessing of temporal problems is studied, to demonstrate their termination and bound their complexities.

Distributed coordination of mobile agent teams: the advantage of planning ahead

TL;DR: An agent architecture is described that uses the synergy between intra-agent scheduling and inter-agent coordination to promote task allocation decisions that minimize travel time and maximize time available for utility-acrruing activities.

Structured motifs search

TL;DR: An algorithm for the localization of structured models, i.e. sequences of (simple) motifs and distance constraints, that combines standard pattern matching procedures with a constraint satisfaction solver and has the ability, not present in similar tools, to search for partial matches.

A Systematic Review of Hyper-Heuristics on Combinatorial Optimization Problems

TL;DR: This work begins by determining the most relevant combinatorial optimization problems, and then it analyzes them in the context of hyper-heuristics to verify whether they remain as relevant when considering exclusively works related to hyper- heuristics.

Solving strong controllability of temporal problems with uncertainty using SMT

TL;DR: This paper obtains the first practical and comprehensive solution for strong controllability, i.e. finding an assignment to all the controllable time points, such that the constraints are fulfilled under any possible assignment of uncontrollably time points.

Maintaining knowledge about temporal intervals

James F. Allen
- 01 Mar 1991 - 
TL;DR: An interval-based temporal logic is introduced, together with a computationally effective reasoning algorithm based on constraint propagation, which is notable in offering a delicate balance between space and time.

Consistency in Networks of Relations

TL;DR: The primary aim is to provide an accessible, unified framework, within which to present the algorithms including a new path consistency algorithm, to discuss their relationships and the may applications, both realized and potential of network consistency algorithms.
