Although it is acknowledged that multi-way dataflow constraints are useful in interactive applications, concerns about their tractability have hindered their acceptance. Certain l...
A planning problem is k-dependent if each action has at most k pre-conditions on variables unaffected by the action. This concept is well-founded since k is a constant for all but...
We present three new complexity results for classes of planning problems with simple causal graphs. First, we describe a polynomial-time algorithm that uses macros to generate pla...
We introduce two variants of proper colorings with imposed partial ordering on the set of colors. One variant shows very close connections to some fundamental problems in graph the...
In this paper, an efficient edge-based approach, including implementation of a hardware system, for locating car license plate area from images taken under relatively complex cond...
