Abstract. The paper presents a deductive framework for proving program equivalence and its application to automatic verification of transformations performed by optimizing compiler...
Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing,...
We review the literature on automatic document formatting with an emphasis on recent work in the field. One common way to frame document formatting is as a constrained optimizatio...
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is an important security enforcement tool in modern networked information systems. Obtaining an optimal IDS configuration for effective detection o...
We study the problem of finding optimal strategies for a life insurance company or pension fund that acts on behalf of an insured so as to maximize the expected utility (in a gene...
