Autonomous systems operating in real-world environments must be able to plan, schedule, and execute missions while robustly adapting to uncertainty and disturbances. Previous work...

This paper summarizes research on a new emerging framework for learning to plan using the Markov decision process model (MDP). In this paradigm, two approaches to learning to plan...

A great deal of research has addressed the problem of generating optimal plans, but these plans are of limited use in circumstances where noisy sensors, unanticipated exogenous ac...
Many scheduling problems reside in uncertain and dynamic environments – tasks have a nonzero probability of failure and may need to be rescheduled. In these cases, an optimized ...

We consider the problem of finding an n-agent jointpolicy for the optimal finite-horizon control of a decentralized Pomdp (Dec-Pomdp). This is a problem of very high complexity ...
In sequential decision-making problems formulated as Markov decision processes, state-value function approximation using domain features is a critical technique for scaling up the...
Due to its important practical applications, temporal planning is of great research interest in artificial intelligence. Yet most of the work in this area so far is limited in at...
