Traditional goal-oriented approaches to building intelligent agents only consider absolute satisfaction of goals. However, in continuous domains there may be many instances in whi...
Abstract. We propose a distributed coalition formation strategy for collaborative sensing tasks in camera sensor networks. The proposed model supports taskdependent node selection ...
The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
In this paper, we propose a new tunable index scheme, called iMinMax, that maps points in high dimensional spaces to single dimension values determined by their maximum or minimu...
A pattern database is a lookup table that stores an exact evaluation function for a relaxed search problem, which provides an admissible heuristic for the original search problem....
