In many planning applications one can find actions with overlapping effects. If for optimally reaching the goal all that matters is within this overlap, there is no need to consid...
We define a framework for static optimization of sliding window conjunctive queries over infinite streams. When computational resources are sufficient, we propose that the goal of...
Progressive Optimization (POP) is a technique to make query plans robust, and minimize need for DBA intervention, by repeatedly re-optimizing a query during runtime if the cardina...

While universal plans tell a system how to reach a goal regardless of what state it is in, such plans can be too large to represent. Hybrid systems execute plans where each action...
The importance of the problems of contingent planning with actions that have non-deterministic effects and of planning with goal preferences has been widely recognized, and severa...
