Decision-Theoretic Group Elevator Scheduling
We present an efficient algorithm for exact calculation and minimization of expected waiting times of all passengers using a bank of elevators. The dynamics of the system are rep...

Iterative Flattening: A Scalable Method for Solving Multi-Capacity Scheduling Problems
One challenge for research in constraint-based scheduling has been to produce scalable solution procedures under fairly general representational assumptions. Quite often, the comp...

Probabilistic Frame-Based Systems
Two of the most important threads of work in knowledge representation today are frame-based representation systems (FRS's) and Bayesian networks (BNs). FRS's provide an ...

Learning Investment Functions for Controlling the Utility of Control Knowledge
The utility problem occurs when the cost of the acquired knowledge outweighs its bene ts. When the learner acquires control knowledge for speeding up a problem solver, the bene t ...
