It is well known that many hard tasks considered in machine learning and data mining can be solved in an rather simple and robust way with an instance- and distance-based approach....
The Vehicle Routing Problem can be seen as a fusion of two well known combinatorial problems, the Travelling Salesman Problem and Bin Packing Problem. It has several variants, the...
We propose a time-scale decomposition approach to measurement-based admission control (MBAC). We identify a critical time scale such that: 1) aggregate traffic fluctuation slower t...
By using an example from a robot navigating domain, we argue that to specify declaratively the behavior of an agent, we need to have a formal and explicit notion of \quality plans...
