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,...
Workflow technology has reached a reasonable degree of maturity, with a number of both research prototypes and commercial systems available. However, methodological issues have rec...
ABSTRACT -- SPEC-VALUE, a rigorous scenario-driven approach for the description and validation of complex system functionalities at the early stages of design, is presented. It is ...
This paper presents the case of Arinia, a custommade piece of social software with strong similarities to today’s microblogging applications. Arinia has been in use in a medium-...
We use case-injected genetic algorithms for learning how to competently play computer strategy games. Case-injected genetic algorithms combine genetic algorithm search with a case-...
