Resource Allocation Among Agents with MDP-Induced Preferences
Allocating scarce resources among agents to maximize global utility is, in general, computationally challenging. We focus on problems where resources enable agents to execute acti...

FluCaP: A Heuristic Search Planner for First-Order MDPs
We present a heuristic search algorithm for solving first-order Markov Decision Processes (FOMDPs). Our approach combines first-order state abstraction that avoids evaluating stat...

An Energy-Optimal Algorithm for Neighbor Discovery in Wireless Sensor Networks
We consider sensor networks in which individual nodes with on-board sensing and low-power transmitters and receivers establish connections with neighboring nodes. The overall objec...
