Timetabling with Annotations Timetabling with Annotations

One of the peculiarities of university timetabling problems lies in their huge complexity and the easy transition between complex constrained system to an over-constrained one. The Faculty of Informat-ics timetabling problem represents very complex scheduling and resource allocation problem as individual timetable for every student has to be scheduled with respect to course pre-enrollment infor...

Psychological Annotations

Two important trials have occurred lately in which the plea of insanity was raised. I allude to that of Madden, tried for threatening the life of the Queen, and acquitted on the ground of insanity ; and Mullens, found guilty of threatening the life of an officer connected with the Board of Trade. The nature of the two cases is precisely similar, but the result of the trials diametrically opposi...

Robustly Anchoring Annotations Using Keywords Robustly Anchoring Annotations Using Keywords

As the number of systems which offer annotations on digital documents increases, robust anchoring of annotations is a key challenge. It is especially important if the annotator lacks write-access to the document being annotated. For example, if someone makes an annotation on a web page today and the web page changes tomorrow, what happens to the annotation? One approach is simply to “orphan” th...

Constraints with Variables' Annotations Constraints with Variables' Annotations

Variables' annotations in over-constrained problems are proposed and described in order to express preferences for optimal solution selection using preferences on variables. The basic interpretation of variables' annotations is presented and correspondence with hierarchical CSP and possibilistic CSP is described. An algorithm for solving systems of constraints with variables' annotations using ...
