Much recent research in decision theoretic planning has adopted Markov decision processes (MDPs) as the model of choice, and has attempted to make their solution more tractable by...
The predicates that are used to encode a planning domain in PDDL often do not include concepts that are important for effectively reasoning about problems in the domain. In partic...
Answering queries posed over knowledge bases is a central problem in knowledge representation and database theory. In databases, query containment is one of the important query op...
Integrated modeling of temporal and logical constraints is important for solving real-life planning and scheduling problems. Logical constrains extend the temporal formalism by rea...
Modeling and formally analyzing active network systems and protocols is quite challenging, due to their highly dynamic nature and the need for new network models. We propose a wid...
