Suppose we are given a set of objects that cover a region and a duration associated with each object. Viewing the objects as jobs, can we schedule their beginning times to maximiz...

Abstract. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a paradigm that employs a set of cooperating agents to solve functions or obtain good solutions for combinatorial optimization problems. ...
Planning methods for deterministic planning problems traditionally exploit factored representations to encode the dynamics of problems in terms of a set of parameters, e.g., the l...
