Recent decision-theoric planning algorithms are able to find optimal solutions in large problems, using Factored Markov Decision Processes (fmdps). However, these algorithms need ...

Many of standard practical techniques of solving constraint satisfaction problems use various decomposition methods to represent a problem as a combination of smaller ones. We stu...
The paper presents distributed and parallel -approximation algorithms for covering problems, where is the maximum number of variables on which any constraint depends (for example...
Constraint Programming is an attractive approach for solving AI planning problems by modelling them as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). However, formulating effective cons...

The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...
