One of the principal advantages of parallelizing a rule-based system, or more generally, any A.I. system, is the ability to pursue alternate search paths concurrently. Conventiona...
In this paper we present an efficient data structure and algorithms for GPU ray tracing of secondary effects like reflections, refractions and shadows. Our method extends previo...
We define the robustness of a sequential plan as the probability that it will execute successfully despite uncertainty in the execution environment. We consider a rich notion of u...
Knowledge-based applications are characterized by their use of machine-understandable formalizations of expert knowledge. Complex knowledge structures, and the features which explo...
Problems in which some entities interact with each other are common in computational intelligence. This scenario, typical for co-evolving artificial-life agents, learning strategie...
