Combinatorial auctions can be used to reach efficient resource and task allocations in multiagent systems where the items are complementary. Determining the winners is NP-complete...
hsp and hspr are two recent planners that search the state-space using an heuristic function extracted from Strips encodings. hsp does a forward search from the initial state reco...
Selecting an optimum maintenance policy independent of other parameters of the production system does not always yield the overall optimum operating conditions. For instance, high...
We propose "low cost response surface methods" (LCRSM) that typically require half the experimental runs of standard response surface methods based on central composite ...
Conventional operators for data retrieval are either based on exact matching or on total order relationship among elements. Neither of them is appropriate to manage complex data, s...
