In this paper we describe IPSS (Integrated Planning and Scheduling System), a domain independent solver that integrates an AI heuristic planner, that synthesizes courses of actions...
In this paper, we address the server selection problem for streaming applications on the Internet. The architecture we consider is similar to the content distribution networks con...
Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) provide an elegant mathematical framework for modeling complex decision and planning problems in stochastic domains in whic...
Enforced hill-climbing is an effective deterministic hillclimbing technique that deals with local optima using breadth-first search (a process called "basin flooding"). ...
The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
