Stochastic Local Search (SLS) is quite effective for a variety of Combinatorial (Optimization) Problems (COP). However, the performance of SLS depends on several factors and getti...
— In the real world, noisy sensors and limited communication make it difficult for robot teams to coordinate in tightly coupled tasks. Team members cannot simply apply single-ro...

We consider a general adversarial stochastic optimization model. Our model involves the design of a system that an adversary may subsequently attempt to destroy or degrade. We int...
