— Multi-robot systems require efficient and accurate planning in order to perform mission-critical tasks. However, algorithms that find the optimal solution are usually computa...
We present an efficient algorithm for exact calculation and minimization of expected waiting times of all passengers using a bank of elevators. The dynamics of the system are rep...
: There have been no major control problems during the first three years of the new Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen (bullet train) Programmed Route Control (PRC) computer system. Prior to...
The notion of maintenance often appears in the AI literature in the context of agent behavior and planning. In this paper, we argue that earlier characterizations of the notion of...
In this paper, we address the server selection problem for streaming applications on the Internet. The architecture we consider is similar to the content distribution networks con...
