Many real-world constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) can be over-constrained but contain a set of mandatory or hard constraints that have to be satisfied for a solution to be ac...
In this paper we present an approach for reducing the memory footprint requirement of temporal difference methods in which the set of states is finite. We use case-based generaliza...
We evaluate the impact of a gigabit network on the implementation of a distributed chemical process optimization application. The optimization problem is formulated as a stochasti...
We study an approximation for the zero-variance change of measure to estimate the probability of a rare event in a continuous-time Markov chain. The rare event occurs when the cha...

We introduce a new type of query, called a real-time continuous query (RCQ), that captures the real-time requirements of processing data streams. We develop techniques to efficien...
