Searching for optimal solutions to a problem using lower bounds obtained from a relaxation is a common idea in Heuristic Search and Planning. In SAT and CSPs, however, explicit rel...
This research screens the tuning parameters of a combinatorial optimization heuristic. Specifically, it presents a Design of Experiments (DOE) approach that uses a Fractional Fac...
We study compression that preserves the solution to an instance of a problem rather than preserving the instance itself. Our focus is on the compressibility of NP decision problem...
— The dangerous and time sensitive nature of a disaster area makes it an ideal application for robotic exploration. Our long term goal is to enable humans, software agents, and a...
— Traditional network routing uses the single (shortest) path paradigm. This paradigm leaves the session vulnerable to a variety of security threats, such as eavesdropping. We pr...
