Recent algorithms provide powerful solutions to the problem of determining cost-minimizing (or revenue-maximizing) allocations of items in combinatorial auctions. However, in many...
We study the computational complexity of reasoning with global constraints. We show that reasoning with such constraints is intractable in general. We then demonstrate how the sam...
Oversubscribed scheduling problems require removing or partially satisfying tasks when enough resources are not available. For a particular oversubscribed problem, Air Force Satel...

The Seldon model combines concepts from agent-based modeling and social network analysis to create a computation model of social dynamics for terrorist recruitment. The underlying...
This paper considers online stochastic optimization problems where time constraints severely limit the number of offline optimizations which can be performed at decision time and/...
Despite increasing deployment of agent technologies in several business and industry domains, user confidence in fully automated agent driven applications is noticeably lacking. T...
