The international initiatives by various agencies (such as World bank, FAO, UN, FIG, etc.) suggest that cadastre and land registration systems are currently undergoing major changes worldwide. On such changes, the emerging trends focus on easy access to land, security of land tenure, establishment and operation of efficient land markets, formalization of property rights, incorporating customary...

In this paper, the effects of temperature on the spectral profiles of long period grating (LPG) fabricated in BGe co doped photosensitive fiber is investigated. The results obtained show that LPG in a B–Ge co doped fiber has negative temperature response or opposite sign of the temperature dependence compared with LPG written in standard telecommunication fiber . Keywords— Fiber grating, Long P...

We present some techniques for planning in domains specified with the recent standard language pddl2.1, supporting “durative actions” and numerical quantities. These techniques are implemented in lpg, a domain-independent planner that took part in the 3rd International Planning Competition (IPC). lpg is an incremental, any time system producing multi-criteria quality plans. The core of the syst...

We present some techniques for handling planning problems with numerical expressions that can be specified using the standard planning language PDDL. These techniques are implemented in LPG, a fully-automated planner based on local search that was awarded at the third international planning competition (2002). First, we present a plan representation for handling numerical expressions called Num...

The ParLPG planning system is based on the idea of using a generic algorithm configuration procedure – here, the well-known ParamILS framework – to optimise the performance of a highly parametric planner on a set of problem instances representative of a specific planning domain. This idea is applied to LPG, a versatile and efficient planner based on stochastic local-search with 62 parameters an...

In [4] we put in relation graphs with Dilworth number at most two and the two classes LPG and mLPG. In order to prove this relation, we have heavily exploited a result we deduced from [1]. We have now realized that this result is not always true, so in this corrigendum we correctly restate the result concerning the relation between graphs with Dilworth number at most two and the two classes of ...

We present LPG, a fast planner using local search for solving planning graphs. LPG can use various heuristics based on a parametrized objective function. These parameters weight different types of inconsistencies in the partial plan represented by the current search state, and are dynamically evaluated during search using Lagrange multipliers. LPG’s basic heuristic was inspired by Walksat, whic...
