The Time Warp protocol is considered to be an effective synchronization mechanism for parallel discrete event simulation (PDES). However, it is widely recognized that it suffers o...
We present a new approach to reinforcement learning in which the policies considered by the learning process are constrained by hierarchies of partially specified machines. This ...
The paper presents objectives and results of a series of case studies in computer support for diagnosis, failure mode and effects analysis, and the creation of repair manuals in t...
This paper presents a statistical decision procedure for lexical ambiguity resolution. The algorithm exploits both local syntactic patterns and more distant collocational evidence...
This paper concerns the specialization of arcconsistency algorithms for constraint satisfaction in the management of quantitative temporal constraint networks. Attention is devote...
