Abstract. Research on practical models of autonomous agents has largely focused on a procedural view of goal achievement. This allows for efficient implementations, but prevents an...
This paper presents a new approach to inference in Bayesian networks. The principal idea is to encode the network by logical sentences and to compile the resulting encoding into an...
In this paper we present an alternative approach to interprocedurally g linear inequality relations. We propose an abstraction of the effects of procedures through convex sets of t...
Abstract. This article proposes a hierarchical architecture for an infrastructure-based overlay network delivering multicast services. Such an overlay network is an alternative to ...
Kelly-width is a parameter of directed graphs recently proposed by Hunter and Kreutzer as a directed analogue of treewidth. We give several alternative characterizations of direct...
