We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
We present an approach to the bid-evaluation problem in a system for multi-agent contract negotiation, called MAGNET. The MAGNET market infrastructure provides support for a variet...

We present an anytime algorithm for coordinating multiple autonomous searchers to find a potentially adversarial target on a graphical representation of a physical environment. Th...
Scheduling algorithms for real-time systems can be characterized in various ways, one of the most important ones of which is the underlying task model. Many concepts of real-time ...
Anytime algorithms offer a tradeoff between solution quality and computation time that has proved useful in applying artificial intelligence techniques to time-critical problems. ...
