Computation in the physical world is restricted by the following spatial locality constraint: In a single unit of time, information can only travel a bounded distance in space. A ...
Many problems of multiagent planning under uncertainty require distributed reasoning with continuous resources and resource limits. Decentralized Markov Decision Problems (Dec-MDP...
Online monitoring of a physical phenomenon over a geographical area is a popular application of sensor networks. Networks representative of this class of applications are typicall...
Branch, cut, and price (BCP) is an LP-based branch and bound technique for solving large-scale discrete optimization problems (DOPs). In BCP, both cuts and variables can be generat...
Compile-time scheduling is one approach to extract parallelism which has proved effective when the execution behavior is predictable. Unfortunately, the performance of most priori...
