Sampling Combinatorial Spaces Using Biased Random Walks
For probabilistic reasoning, one often needs to sample from a combinatorial space. For example, one may need to sample uniformly from the space of all satisfying assignments. Can ...

Protocol Conformance for Logic-based Agents
An agent communication protocol specifies the “rules of encounter” governing a dialogue between agents in a multiagent system. In non-cooperative interactions (such as negoti...

Making the Breakout Algorithm Complete Using Systematic Search
Local search algorithms have been very successful for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). However, a major weakness has been that local search is unable to detect unso...

Reasoning about soft constraints and conditional preferences: complexity results and approximation techniques
Many real life optimization problems contain both hard and soft constraints, as well as qualitative conditional preferences. However, there is no single formalism to specify all t...

Approximating Optimal Policies for Agents with Limited Execution Resources
An agent with limited consumable execution resources needs policies that attempt to achieve good performance while respecting these limitations. Otherwise, an agent (such as a pla...

Building Data Integration Systems: A Mass Collaboration Approach
Building data integration systems today is largely done by hand, in a very labor intensive and error prone process. In this paper, we describe a conceptually new solution to this ...
