We study, from the competitive analysis perspective, the trade off between communication cost and delay cost (or simply the sendor-wait dilemma) on a hierarchy (rooted tree). The p...
We introduce the Bloomier filter, a data structure for compactly encoding a function with static support in order to support approximate evaluation queries. Our construction gener...

Abstract. In this paper we study traditional and enhanced BDDbased exploration procedures capable of handling large planning problems. On the one hand, reachability analysis and mo...
The paper presents an efficient goal oriented algorithm for symbolic propagation in Bayesian networks. The proposed algorithm performs symbolic propagation using numerical methods...
