Fast and frugal heuristics are well studied models of bounded rationality. Psychological research has proposed the take-the-best heuristic as a successful strategy in decision mak...
R-tree based spatial join is useful because of both its superior performance and the wide spread implementation of R-trees. We present a new R-tree join method called BFRJ (Breadt...
Spatial database operations are typically performed in two steps. In the filtering step, indexes and the minimum bounding rectangles (MBRs) of the objects are used to quickly dete...
Computing a good policy in stochastic uncertain environments with unknown dynamics and reward model parameters is a challenging task. In a number of domains, ranging from space ro...
We study the problem of dynamically scheduling a set of state-feedback control tasks controlling a set of linear plants. We consider an on-line non-preemptive scheduling policy th...
