In this work we tackle the following problem: given a timed automaton, and a target set F of configurations, restrict its transition relation in a systematic way so that from ever...
We describe an automata-theoretic approach for the competitive analysis of online algorithms. Our approach is based on weighted automata, which assign to each input word a cost in...
Factored planning methods aim to exploit locality to efficiently solve large but "loosely coupled" planning problems by computing solutions locally and propagating limit...

In this paper we show how the classical job-shop scheduling problem can be modeled as a special class of acyclic timed automata. Finding an optimal schedule corresponds, then, to n...
We introduce asynchronous dynamic pushdown networks (ADPN), a new model for multithreaded programs in which pushdown systems communicate via shared memory. ADPN generalizes both CP...
