Set variables are ubiquitous in modeling (soft) constraint problems, but efforts on practical consistency algorithms for Weighted Constraint Satisfaction Problems (WCSPs) have onl...
One of the major limitations of relational learning is due to the complexity of verifying hypotheses on examples. In this paper we investigate this task in light of recent publishe...
Scalable resource discovery services form the core of directory and other middleware services. Scalability requirements preclude centralized solutions. The need to have directory ...
The problem of optimal policy formulation for teams of resource-limited agents in stochastic environments is composed of two strongly-coupled subproblems: a resource allocation pr...
ngly better objective function value until an optimal solution is reached. From an abstract point of view, an augmentation problem is solved in each iteration. That is, given a fea...
