We present an optimization method and algorithm designed for three objectives: physical data independence, semantic optimization, and generalized tableau minimization. The method ...
In this paper we describe the problem of Optimal Competitive Scheduling, which consists of activities that compete for a shared resource. The objective is to choose a subset of ac...

A simulation-based optimization framework involving simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) is presented as a means for optimally specifying parameters of intern...
— We present a novel approach to legged locomotion over rough terrain that is thoroughly rooted in optimization. This approach relies on a hierarchy of fast, anytime algorithms t...
