In order to perform adequately in real-world situations, a planning system must be able to nd the \best" solution while still supporting anytime behavior. We have developed ...
This paper describes two experiments exploring the potential of the Kriging methodology for constrained simulation optimization. Both experiments study an (s, S) inventory system ...

Abstract. Fine-grained lock protocols with lock modes and lock granules adjusted to the various XML processing models, allow for highly concurrent transaction processing on XML tre...
Most former studies of Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DisCOPs) search considered only complete search algorithms, which are practical only for relatively small prob...
