The use of large quantities of common sense has long been thought to be critical to the automated understanding of the world. To this end, various groups have collected repositori...

This paper summarizes the author's recent work in distributed constraint optimization (DCOP). New local algorithms, as well as theoretical results about the types of solution...
We demonstrate an end-to-end use case of the semantic web's utility for synthesizing ecological and environmental data. ELVIS (the Ecosystem Location Visualization and Inform...

We derive a recursive formula for expected utility values in imperfect- information game trees, and an imperfectinformation game tree search algorithm based on it. The formula and...
Supply chains are ubiquitous in the manufacturing of many complex products. Traditionally, supply chains have been created through the interactions of human representatives of the...
The ability to accurately detect the location of a mobile node in a sensor network is important for many artificial intelligence (AI) tasks that range from robotics to context-awa...

This report is an expanded version of a paper in AAAI-2006 proceedings. In this report, we investigate the challenges that must be addressed for the Semantic Web to become a feasi...
Even under polynomial restrictions on plan length, conformant planning remains a very hard computational problem as plan verification itself can take exponential time. This heavy ...
While it is commonly agreed that analogy is useful in human problem solving, exactly how analogy can and should be used remains an intriguing problem. VanLehn (1998) for instance ...
Description Logics (DLs) are the formal foundations of the standard web ontology languages OWL-DL and OWL-Lite. In the Semantic Web and other domains, ontologies are increasingly ...
