A mobile robot acting in the world is faced with a large amount of sensory data and uncertainty in its action outcomes. Indeed, almost all interesting sequential decision-making d...
The paper explores the power of two systematic Branch and Bound search algorithms that exploit partition-based heuristics, BBBT (a new algorithm for which the heuristic informatio...
Continuous time Bayesian networks (CTBN) describe structured stochastic processes with finitely many states that evolve over continuous time. A CTBN is a directed (possibly cycli...
The creation of a complex web site is a thorny problem in user interface design. First, di erent visitors have distinct goals. Second, even a single visitor may have di erent need...
A variety of reactive plan execution systems have been developed in recent years, each attempting to solve the problem of taking reasonable courses of action fast enough in a dyna...
