In order to scale with modern processors, planning algorithms must become multi-threaded. In this paper, we present parallel shared-memory algorithms for two problems that underli...
Formal analysis of software is a powerful analysis tool, but can be too costly. Random search of formal models can reduce that cost, but is theoretically incomplete. However, rand...
Given n potential oil locations, where each has oil at a certain depth, we seek good trade-offs between the number of oil sources found and the total amount of drilling performed. ...
Abstract. In this paper, a framework for previous and new quasi-exact extensions of the A -algorithm is presented. In contrast to previous approaches, the new methods guarantee to ...
This paper deals with the adaptive variance scaling issue in continuous Estimation of Distribution Algorithms. A phenomenon is discovered that current adaptive variance scaling me...
