Anytime algorithms, whose quality of results improves gradually as computation time increases, provide useful performance components for timecritical planning and control of robot...
We describe in this paper a new method for extracting knowledge on Hierarchical Task-Network (HTN) planning problems for speeding up the search. This knowledge is gathered by prop...
Landmarks for a planning problem are subgoals that are necessarily made true at some point in the execution of any plan. Since verifying that a fact is a landmark is PSPACE-complet...
We further increase the efficiency of Java RMI programs. Where other optimizing re-implementations of RMI use pre-processors to create stubs and skeletons and to create class spe...
Current compilers lack precise timing models guiding their built-in optimizations. Hence, compilers apply ad-hoc heuristics during optimization to improve code quality. One of the...
