Managing Qualitative Preferences and Constraints in a Dynamic Environment

چکیده
The problem of finding the set of pareto optimals for constraints and qualitative preferences together is of great interest to many application areas. It can be viewed as a preference constrained optimization problem where the goal is to find one or more feasible solutions that are not dominated by other feasible outcomes. Our work aims to enhance the current literature of the problem by providing solving methods targeting the problem in a dynamic environments. We target the problem with an eye on adopting and benefiting from the current constraint satisfaction techniques.

A Framework to Manage Conditional Constraints and Qualitative Preferences
A conditional CSP is a well known formalism for managing constraints in a dynamic environment where the possible changes are known a priori and can be enumerated beforehand. In this paper we argue that mixing preferences with Conditional CSPs brings more intuitive meaning to many real world applications. For example, in a product configuration problem the user preferences often co-exist with th...
متن کاملManaging Qualitative Preferences with Constraints
Preferences and Constraints co-exist naturally in different domains. Thus, handling both of them is of great interest for many real applications. Preferences usually expressed in qualitative format where a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a well known formalism to handle constraints. In this paper, we investigate the problem of managing both qualitative user preferences and system requi...
متن کاملConditional and Composite Constraints with Preferences
Preferences in constraint problems are common but significant in many real world applications. In this paper, we extend our conditional and composite CSP (CCCSP) framework, managing CSPs in a dynamic environment, in order to handle preferences. Unlike the existing CSP models managing one form of preferences, ours supports four types, namely : variable value and constraint preferences, composite...
متن کاملSolving product mix problem in multiple constraints environment using goal programming
The theory of constraints is an approach to production planning and control that emphasizes on the constraints to increase throughput by effectively managing constraint resources. One application in theory of constraints is product mix decision. Product mix influences the performance measures in multi-product manufacturing system. This paper presents an alternative approach by using of goal pro...
متن کاملA Mathematical Method for Managing the System Constraint
The goal of theory of constraints (TOC) is to maximize output, which is achieved byidentifying and managing the critically constrained resources. To manage the constraints, Goldrattproposed five focusing steps (5FS). If we increase constrained output, the output of system will beincreased. In this paper, we focus on step four of the 5FS and use the remained capacity of nonconstraintto elevate t...
