Abstract. The agent design problem is as follows: Given an environment, together with a specification of a task, is it possible to construct an agent that will guarantee to succes...
In this paper, we discuss the use of anthropomorphic form in the design of products. We assert that anthropomorphic form is not merely an embellishment but that it can be used as ...
This paper describes a technique for evolving similar solutions to similar configuration design problems. Using the configuration design of combination logic circuits as a testb...
Optimal design is intractable in general. We identify a tractable class of design problems and propose the first framework for efficient, decision-theoretically optimal, collabo...
