– Active SLAM poses the challenge for an autonomous robot to plan efficient paths simultaneous to the SLAM process. The uncertainties of the robot, map and sensor measurements, a...
We describe a methodology for representing and optimizing user preferences on plans. Our approach differs from previous work on plan optimization in that we employ a generalizatio...

Markov decision processes (MDPs) and contingency planning (CP) are two widely used approaches to planning under uncertainty. MDPs are attractive because the model is extremely gen...
Domain-partition (DP) model is a general model for reliability maximization problem under given redundancy. In this paper, an improved DP model is used to formulate a reconfigurati...
Sustainability has recently emerged as a key issue in process systems engineering (PSE). Mathematical programming techniques offer a general modeling framework for including enviro...
