Decentralized MDPs provide a powerful formal framework for planning in multi-agent systems, but the complexity of the model limits its usefulness. We study in this paper a class o...

Applications such as audio fingerprinting require search in high dimensions: find an item in a database that is similar to a query. An important property of this search task is t...

Abstract. Is it possible to treat large scale distributed systems as physical systems? The importance of that question stems from the fact that the behavior of many P2P systems is ...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are population-based heuristic search methods that use probabilistic models of good solutions to guide their search. When applied to co...
We introduce billboard clouds – a new approach for extreme simplification in the context of real-time rendering. 3D models are simplified onto a set of planes with texture and...
