Minimizing Movement: Fixed-Parameter Tractability
Abstract. We study an extensive class of movement minimization problems which arise from many practical scenarios but so far have little theoretical study. In general, these proble...

Achieving goals in decentralized POMDPs
Coordination of multiple agents under uncertainty in the decentralized POMDP model is known to be NEXP-complete, even when the agents have a joint set of goals. Nevertheless, we s...

The Parameterized Complexity of Some Minimum Label Problems
We study the parameterized complexity of several minimum label graph problems, in which we are given an undirected graph whose edges are labeled, and a property Π, and we are ask...
