Compromise Matching in P2P e-Marketplaces: Concept, Algorithm and Use Case
[chapter]
2011
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
A compromise match is called for when either one or both constraints within a pair are soft and moreover their values do not match exactly. ...
In order to determine the degree of matching between two profiles, corresponding pairs of constraints are compared and aggregated to the overall similarity between the two profiles. ...
Hard and Soft constraints determine whether a participant can proceed with a match even if the condition value described by his/her constraint is not satisfied by the value of the corresponding constraint ...

A knowledge representation model for matchmaking systems in e-marketplaces
2009
Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Electronic Commerce - ICEC '09
We propose a new knowledge representation (KR) model for Webbased matchmaking systems that can represent these constraints. ...
We formalize the multifaceted expectations and interests of participants as 'constraints' in those profiles. We identify and explicitly define the relevant types of constraints. ...

Including Soft Global Constraints in DCOPs
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We extend the distributed search algorithm BnB-ADOPT + to support these representations of global constraints. ...
In addition, we explore the relation of global constraints with soft local consistency in DCOPs, in particular for the generalized soft arc consistency (GAC) level. ...
A soft global constraint C is a class of soft constraints whose arity is not fixed. Constraints with different arities can be defined by the same class. ...

Opaque Allomorphy in OT: Candidate Chains vs. Derivational Optimality Theory
2010
Poznan Studies in Contemporary Linguistics
This article investigates the opacity in allomorphic processes in the masculine nominative plural of Polish nouns. It is shown that the discussed cases of allomorphy are opaque. ...
Next, the problem is reanalyzed within the theory of candidate chains in order to determine whether the theory is capable of providing a non-derivational account. ...

2012 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems
This paper introduces the necessary algorithms for handling such constraints, including projection methods and useful representations of everyday constraints. ...
We present a randomized configuration space planner that enforces soft workspace task constraints. A soft task constraint allows an interval of feasible values while favoring a given exact value. ...

VIZSolution: An Interface Tool to Solve Real-world Examination Timetabling Problem
2010
International Journal of Advancements in Computing Technology
NP-Hard problems are hard to solve, it requires considerable computational power to generate solutions. The objective is to achieve better solution in less time. ...
The constraints are either hard or soft. The former must be satisfied in order to come up with a feasible timetable while satisfying the soft constraints is desired by not essential. ...
A timetable which satisfies all of the hard constraints is usually said to be feasible. Soft Constraints are desirable but are not absolutely critical. ...

Helicity Constraints To Soft Factor Of All Spin
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
In this note we derive non-perturbative constraints for soft operators in order to preserve the helicities of scatteringamplitudes in a soft limit. ...
We also show that the resolution of such constraints generates a master formula for theanalytic expression of the single soft factor of any given spin and helicity. ...
In the first part, we derive such constraints by considering the action of soft operators in such a way amplitude's helicity constraints are preserved. ...

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Furthermore, we formalize the representation of soft constraints in fuzzy P(N ) and explain how semi-automated feature model configuration is performed. ...
Most feature model configuration processes neglect the need to have a holistic approach towards the integration and satisfaction of the stakeholder's soft and hard constraints, and the applicationdomain ...
