A key challenge in non-cooperative multi-agent systems is that of developing efficient planning algorithms for intelligent agents to interact and perform effectively among boundedly rational, selfinterested agents (e.g., humans). The practicality of existing works addressing this challenge is being undermined due to either the restrictive assumptions of the other agents’ behavior, the failure i...

the aim of this study was to determine the role of attachment styles and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in adolescents' social anxiety. 430 iranian high school students (200 boys and 230 girls) were selected by multistage cluster sampling method from high schools in isfahan city and completed a battery of scales including attachment styles scale (collins and read, 1990), cognitive...

Despite major progress in AI planning over the last few years, many interesting domains remain challenging for current planners. Topological abstraction can reduce planning complexity in several domains, decomposing a problem into a two-level hierarchy. This paper presents LAP, a planning model based on topological abstraction. In formalizing LAP as a generic planning framework, the support of ...

We present a path-planning algorithm for the classical mover's problem in three dimensions using a potential field representation of obstacles. A potential function similar to the electrostatic potential is assigned to each obstacle, and the topological structure of the free space is derived in the form of minimum potential valleys. Path planing is done at two levels. First, a global planner se...

The 3rd and 4th International Planning Competitions have enriched the set of benchmarks for classical propositional planning by a number of novel and interesting planning domains. Although they are commonly used for the purpose of evaluating planner performance, the planning domains themselves have not yet been studied in depth. In this contribution, we prove complexity results for the decision...

A large body of work exists in process industry supply chain optimisation. We describe the state of the art of research in infrastructure design, modelling and analysis and planning and scheduling, together with some industrial examples. We will consider two network design type problems in more detail and then draw some conclusions about the degree to which different classes of problem have bee...
