As computer network technology becomes increasingly complex, it becomes necessary to place greater requirements on the validity of developing standards and the resulting technology...
We describe a general approach to optimization which we term Squeaky Wheel" Optimization SWO. In SWO, a greedy algorithm is used to construct a solution which is then analyze...
We describe in this paper a new method for extracting knowledge on Hierarchical Task-Network (HTN) planning problems for speeding up the search. This knowledge is gathered by prop...
We present a decentralized, asynchronous market protocol for allocating and scheduling tasks among agents that contend for scarce resources, constrained by a hierarchical task dep...
