We review the problem of time-critical action and discuss a reformulation that shifts knowledge acquisition from the assessment of complex temporal probabilistic dependencies to t...
We begin by discussing causal independence models and generalize these models to causal interaction models. Causal interaction models are models that have independent mechanisms w...
I introduce a temporal belief-network representation of causal independence that a knowledge engineer can use to elicit probabilistic models. Like the current, atemporal belief-ne...
A logic is de ned that allows to express information about statistical probabilities and about degrees of belief in speci c propositions. By interpreting the twotypes of probabili...
Real-time Decision algorithms are a class of incremental resource-bounded [Horvitz, 89] or anytime [Dean, 93] algorithms for evaluating influence diagrams. We present a test domai...
