Abstract. AND/OR search spaces are a unifying paradigm for advanced algorithmic schemes for graphical models. The main virtue of this representation is its sensitivity to the struc...
The problem of optimal policy formulation for teams of resource-limited agents in stochastic environments is composed of two strongly-coupled subproblems: a resource allocation pr...
Decentralized planning in uncertain environments is a complex task generally dealt with by using a decision-theoretic approach, mainly through the framework of Decentralized Parti...
To solve real-world discrete optimization problems approximately metaheuristics such as simulated annealing and other local search methods are commonly used. For large instances o...
In this paper, we discuss and compare several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity and Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. The client requests ...
