An explicit exploration strategy is necessary in reinforcement learning (RL) to balance the need to reduce the uncertainty associated with the expected outcome of an action and the...
This paper describes a practical application of a novel terminal attractor algorithm to the construction of Perfect Hash Functions (PHF) for a prede ned set of keys. The proposed ...
Abstract. A well studied and difficult class of scheduling problems concerns parallel machines and precedence constraints. In order to model more realistic situations, we consider ...
For the last few years a considerable number of efforts have been devoted into integrating security issues into information systems development practices. This has led to a number...
