This paper investigates the impact of symbolic search for solving domain-independent action planning problems with binary decision diagrams (BDDs). Polynomial upper and exponential...
Semi-join reducers were introduced in the late seventies as a means to reduce the communication costs of distributed database systems. Subsequent work in the eighties showed, howe...

This paper presents a path planner for Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) based on Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) that can be used in realistic risky scenarios. The path returned by the a...
Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing,...
SQL tuning--the attempt to improve a poorly-performing execution plan produced by the database query optimizer-is a critical aspect of database performance tuning. Ironically, as ...
