Planning in single-agent models like MDPs and POMDPs can be carried out by resorting to Q-value functions: a (near-) optimal Q-value function is computed in a recursive manner by ...
This paper is motivated by the problem of poor searching efficiency in decentralized peer-to-peer file-sharing systems. We solve the searching problem by considering and modeling t...

Search engines are among the most important applications or services on the web. Most existing successful search engines use global ranking algorithms to generate the ranking of do...
Abstract-- The need for efficient computation of approximate global state lies at the heart of a wide range of problems in distributed systems. Examples include routing in the Inte...
In this paper we consider the problem of searching for a node or an object (i.e., piece of data, file, etc.) in a large network. Applications of this problem include searching fo...
