Abstract. We present an algorithmic framework for integrating solution methods that is based on search, inference, and relaxation and their interactions. We show that the following...
Abstract. This paper is on the automation of knowledge-intensive tasks in engineering domains; here, the term “task” relates to analysis and synthesis tasks, such as diagnosis ...
Optimization problems are more and more complex and their resource requirements are ever increasing. Although metaheuristics allow to significantly reduce the computational complex...
Classic approaches to game AI require either a high quality of domain knowledge, or a long time to generate effective AI behaviour. These two characteristics hamper the goal of es...
: Search is probably the most frequent activity on the Web. Yet it is not effortless, mainly due to heterogeneous information resources. Semantic search is a means to tackle the pr...
