This paper exploits the spatial representation of state space problem graphs to preprocess and enhance heuristic search engines. It combines classical AI exploration with computati...
Planning is known to be a difficult task. One of the approaches used to reduce this difficulty is problem decomposition under divide-and-conquer methodology. This paper introduce...
Hardware agents as a part of cooperative multi-agent systems act in dynamically changing environments and accomplish tasks jointly. Since the pure hybrid plan representation provid...
The work described in this paper presents an approach on scheduling in a virtual enterprise in the tourism sector. This scheduling scenario has to reconcile customers' and ser...
Urban design is a creative task that demands the balancing of issues from multiple domains such as architecture, zoning laws, traffic planning, and others. As such, classic design ...
In the context of UMTS mobile applications require the consistency of information, and the configuration of interfaces and applications. These requirements can be depicted by subtl...
Combination of AI/OR methods is gaining a great deal of attention because many combinatorial problems especially in planning and scheduling areas can be solved by means of combined...
The sales of customisable products and services over the internet is a challenging task within the area of electronic commerce. In this chapter we will present a case study which s...
