Constraints as Control

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter

We present an extension of Scala that supports constraint programming over bounded and unbounded domains. The resulting language, Kaplan, provides the benefits of constraint programming while preserving the existing features of Scala. Kaplan integrates con ...

Resource-based Planning with Timelines

Jingshi Li

Real world planning applications typically involve making decisions that consumes limited resources, which requires both planning and scheduling. In this paper we propose a new approach that bridges the gap between planning and scheduling by explicitly mod ...

Compatible Component Selection Under Uncertainty Via Extended Constraint Satisfaction Approach

Paul Xirouchakis, Duck Young Kim

This paper deals with compatible component selection problems, where the goal is to find combinations of components satisfying design constraints given a product structure, component alternatives available in design catalogue for each subsystem of the prod ...

Input Filter Design for Feasibility in Constraint-Adaptation Schemes

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François, Gene Bunin

The subject of real-time, steady-state optimization under significant uncertainty is addressed in this paper. Specifically, the use of constraint-adaptation schemes is reviewed, and it is shown that, in general, such schemes cannot guarantee process feasib ...

MDD propagators with explanation

Radoslaw Szymanek

Multi-valued decision diagrams (MDDs) are a convenient approach to representing many kinds of constraints including table constraints, regular constraints, complex set and multiset constraints, as well as ad-hoc problem specific constraints. This paper int ...

NxN Coupling Matrix Synthesis of Dissipative Microwave Filters

Michael Mattes, Francisco Edén Sorolla Rosario, Diego Navarro Tapia

In this communication, the coupling matrix synthesis of dissipative microwave filters is analyzed and compared to the synthesis of lossless filters. A modified definition of the vector matrix product allows using the same synthesis procedure in both cases. ...

On Deciding Functional Lists with Sublist Sets

Viktor Kuncak

Motivated by the problem of deciding verification conditions for the verification of functional programs, we present new decision procedures for automated reasoning about functional lists. We first show how to decide in NP the satisfiability problem for lo ...

Model-Predictive Control of an Experimental Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stack

Dominique Bonvin, Stefan Diethelm, Grégory François, Zacharie Wuillemin, Arata Nakajo, Gene Bunin

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) are energy conversion devices that produce electrical energy via the reaction of a fuel with an oxidant. Although SOFCs have become credible alternatives to non-renewable energy sources, efforts are still needed to extend thei ...

Ordered Sets in the Calculus of Data Structures

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter, Ruzica Piskac

Our goal is to identify families of relations that are useful for reasoning about software. We describe such families using decidable quantifier-free classes of logical constraints with a rich set of operations. A key challenge is to define such classes of ...
