Abstract— The role of gradient estimation in global optimization is investigated. The concept of a regional gradient is introduced as a tool for analyzing and comparing different...
We study the complexity of sequentially-optimal classical planning, and discover new problem classes for whose such optimization is tractable. The results are based on exploiting ...
Approximate dynamic programming is emerging as a powerful tool for certain classes of multistage stochastic, dynamic problems that arise in operations research. It has been applie...
Future systems will have to support multiple and concurrent dynamic compute-intensive applications, while respecting real-time and energy consumption constraints. With the increase...

The Flexible Resource Manager (FRM) is a dynamic resource management approach that allows a better utilization of the available resources. However, it necessitates an atomic recon...
