Abstract. Most CSP algorithms are based on refinements and extensions of backtracking, and employ one of two simple “branching schemes”: 2-way branching or d-way branching, fo...

We introduce Hegel and Fichte’s dialectic as a search meta-heuristic for constraint satisfaction and optimization. Dialectic is an appealing mental concept for local search as it...
The challenge we address is to reason about projected resource usage within a hierarchical task execution framework in order to improve agent effectiveness. Specifically, we seek ...
In this paper, we consider the problem of dynamic lightpath protection in survivable WDM networks with single link failure model. Our work concerns in how to dynamically determine...
