Building cost estimation models is often considered a search problem in which the solver should return an optimal solution satisfying an objective function. This solution also nee...
In learning belief networks, the single link lookahead search is widely adopted to reduce the search space. We show that there exists a class of probabilistic domain models which ...
A cross-layer optimization approach is adopted for the design of symmetric random access wireless systems. Instead of the traditional collision model, a more realistic physical la...
