Efficient Planning in Large POMDPs through Policy Graph Based Factorized Approximations
Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) are widely used for planning under uncertainty. In many applications, the huge size of the POMDP state space makes straightf...

A Sampling-Based Approach to Optimizing Top-k Queries in Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor networks generate a vast amount of data. This data, however, must be sparingly extracted to conserve energy, usually the most precious resource in battery-powered ...
