Effects based operations (EBO) is a concept based on the premise that a desired strategic outcome can be achieved through synergistic, multiplicative, and cumulative application ...
Abstract. In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorit...
This paper describes some of the interactions of model learning algorithms and planning algorithms we have found in exploring model-based reinforcement learning. The paper focuses...
In order to scale with modern processors, planning algorithms must become multi-threaded. In this paper, we present parallel shared-memory algorithms for two problems that underli...
Data sources on the web are often accessible through web interfaces that present them as relational tables, but require certain attributes to be mandatorily selected, e.g., via a w...
