Generic Types and their Use in Improving the Quality of Search Heuristics
نویسنده
چکیده
This abstract discusses work looking into techniques for improving the quality of the search heuristics used to guide forward-chaining planning. The improvements in heuristic quality are made by performing a static analysis of the planning problem to identify commonly occurring ‘generic types’, and providing additional heuristic guidance based on their known properties. In doing so, the heuristic is tailored to the identified properties of the domain and can provide a more realistic heuristic value and refined relaxed plan. This can potentially lead to reduction in the time taken to find a plan, and the generation of shorter plans.

Mathematical Programming Models for Solving Unequal-Sized Facilities Layout Problems - a Generic Search Method
This paper present unequal-sized facilities layout solutions generated by a genetic search program named LADEGA (Layout Design using a Genetic Algorithm). The generalized quadratic assignment problem requiring pre-determined distance and material flow matrices as the input data and the continuous plane model employing a dynamic distance measure and a material flow matrix are discussed. Computa...
متن کاملComparing Three Proposed Meta-heuristics to Solve a New p-hub Location-allocation Problem
This paper presents a new mathematical model, in which the location of hubs is fixed and their capacity is determined based on facilities and factories allocated to it. In order to feed the client's nodes, different types of vehicles of different capacities are considered, in which the clients are allocated to hubs, and types and numbers of vehicles are allocated to the factory's facilities. To...
متن کاملEPQ model with depreciation cost and process quality cost as continuous functions of time
Extensive research has been devoted to economic production quantity (EPQ) problem. However, little atten-tion has been paid to problems where depreciation cost and process quality cost must be considered, simulta-neously. In this paper, we consider the economic production quantity model of minimizing the annual total cost subject to depreciation cost and process quality cost, where depreciation...
متن کاملImproving Plan Quality through Heuristics for Guiding and Pruning the Search: A Study Using LAMA
Admissible heuristics are essential for optimal planning in the context of search algorithms like A*, and they can also be used in the context of suboptimal planning in order to find quality-bounded solutions. In satisfacing planning, on the other hand, admissible heuristics are not exploited by the best-first search algorithms of existing planners even when a time window is available for impro...
متن کاملImproving Success Ratio in Multi-Constraint Quality of Service Routing
Multi-constraint quality-of-service routing will become increasingly important as the Internet evolves to support real-time services. It is well known however, that optimum multi-constraint QoS routing is computationally complex, and for this reason various heuristics have been proposed for routing in practical situations. Among these methods, those that use a single mixed metric are the mo...
