Combinatorial auctions can be used to reach efficient resource and task allocations in multiagent systems where the items are complementary. Determining the winners is NP-complete...
Local search algorithms often get trapped in local optima. Algorithms such as tabu search and simulated annealing 'escape' local optima by accepting nonimproving moves. ...

High-level robot controllers in realistic domains typically deal with processes which operate concurrently, change the world continuously, and where the execution of actions is ev...
A central problem in qualitative reasoning is understanding how people reason about space and shape with diagrams. We claim that progress in diagrammatic reasoning is being slowed...
Most CBR systems rely on a fixed library of cases, where each case consists of a set of facts specified in advance. This paper describes techniques for dynamically extracting case...
