Decadal survey lays out ambitious U.S. astronomy research goals

Multi-Messenger Astronomy with GRBs: A White Paper for the Astro2010 Decadal Survey

Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are relativistic cosmological beacons of transient high energy radiation whose afterglows span the electromagnetic spectrum. Theoretical expectations of correlated neutrino and/or gravitational wave (GW) emission position GRBs at an astrophysical nexus for a metamorphosis in our understanding of the Cosmos. This new dawn in the era of experimental (particle) astrophysics...

CMB Anisotropies: A Decadal Survey

We review the theoretical implications of the past decade of CMB anisotropy measurements, which culminated in the recent detection of the first feature in the power spectrum, and discuss the tests available to the next decade of experiments. The current data already suggest that density perturbations originated in an inflationary epoch, the universe is spatially flat, and baryonic dark matter i...

Compugraph Ii: a Survey of Research Goals and Main Results

This is a survey of the main aims and results of the ESPRIT Basic Research Working Group COMPUTING BY GRAPH TRANSFORMATION II, 1992-1996, following up the rst phase of COMPUGRAPH, 1989-1992. The research goals and main results are presented within the following three research areas: Foundations, Concurrency, and Graph Transformations for Speciication and Programming.

Research Goals

My research goal is to continue to advance the state of the art in multi-agent reinforcement learning. There exist many real world examples of multi-agent domains that I plan to work with in the future, such as fire and emergency response in an wide scale emergency situation (such as an earthquake), vehicle routing and product delivery, passenger pickup, dropoff, and scheduling for taxis, and g...
