The Pipelined Set Cover Problem
Abstract. A classical problem in query optimization is to find the optimal ordering of a set of possibly correlated selections. We provide an ion of this problem as a generalizati...

First Order Decision Diagrams for Relational MDPs
Dynamic programming algorithms provide a basic tool identifying optimal solutions in Markov Decision Processes (MDP). The paper develops a representation for decision diagrams sui...

Symbolic Dynamic Programming for First-Order MDPs
We present a dynamic programming approach for the solution of first-order Markov decisions processes. This technique uses an MDP whose dynamics is represented in a variant of the ...

Optimization-based design of reactive distillation columns using a memetic algorithm
This contribution deals with the optimization of the design of reactive distillation columns by using a memetic algorithm (MA) which is a combination of an evolution strategy (ES)...
