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 ...
A general model for the coevolution of cooperating species is presented. This model is instantiated and tested in the domain of function optimization, and compared with a tradition...
This paper describes two experiments exploring the potential of the Kriging methodology for constrained simulation optimization. Both experiments study an (s, S) inventory system ...
