Project management is a business process for successfully delivering one-of-a kind products and services under real-world time and resource constraints. Developing a project plan, a crucial element of project management, is a difficult task that requires significant experience and expertise. Interestingly, artificial intelligence researchers have developed both mixed-initiative and automated hi...

We propose the use of HTN planning for risk-sensitive planning domains. We suggest utility functions that reflect the risk attitude of compound tasks, and adapt a best-first search algorithm to take such utilities into account.

This article describes an approach to building and using a Network Ontology (NO) for network planning projects with particular focus on real-life enterprise networks. In addition to the ontology, we have developed a Network Markup Language (NML) based on the ontology that can be used to describe real life networks. We have also developed network patterns that capture the most common and best pr...

This paper describes an algorithm for recognizing known objects in an unstructured environment (e.g. landmarks) from measurements acquired with a single monochrome television camera mounted on a mobile observer. The approach is based on the concept of an entropy map, which is used to guide the mobile observer along an optimal trajectory that minimizes the ambiguity of recognition as well as the...
