We develop a hierarchical approach to planning for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) in which a policy is represented as a hierarchical finite-state control...
A Genetic Algorithm, embedded in a simulation-based method, is applied to the identification of Asynchronous Finite State Machines. Two different coding schemes and their associat...
The term “Java” is used to denote two different concepts: the language itself and the related execution environment, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which executes byte code in...
We present a deterministic strongly polynomial algorithm that computes the permanent of a nonnegative n × n matrix to within a multiplicative factor of en. To this end we develop...
Although open-source software development has virtues, there is reason to believe that the approach would not have a significant effect on the security of today’s systems. The ...
