In this paper, we consider the problem of composing a set of web services, where the requirements are specified in terms of the input and output messages of the composite workfl...
Current efficient planners employ an informed search guided by a heuristic function that is quite expensive to compute. Thus, ordering nodes in the search tree becomes a key issue,...
Symbolic representations have been used successfully in off-line planning algorithms for Markov decision processes. We show that they can also improve the performance of online p...
Database-centric information systems are critical to the operations of large organisations. In particular, they often process a large amount of data with stringent performance req...
We present deterministic sequences for use in sampling-based approaches to motion planning. They simultaneously combine the qualities found in many other sequences: i) the increme...
