We present Variable Influence Structure Analysis, or VISA, an algorithm that performs hierarchical decomposition of factored Markov decision processes. VISA uses a dynamic Bayesia...
Soft constraints extend classical constraints to deal with non-functional requirements, overconstrained problems and preferences. Bistarelli, Montanari and Rossi have developed a ...

The responsiveness of networked applications is limited by communications delays, making network distance an important parameter in optimizing the choice of communications peers. S...
The paper proposes a preventive maintenance (PM) planning model for the performance improvement of cellular manufacturing systems (CMS) in terms of machine reliability, and resour...
This paper describes a major restructuring of PROuST, a method for protein structure comparison, for an efficient porting to the Grid. PROuST consists of different components: an...
