The Environment Constrains Successful Search Strategies in Natural Distributed Systems
… investigates two natural systems that use distributed search algorithms and tests the hypothesis that the searchers' environment is a key constraint on an optimal algorithm. Natural instances of distributed autonomous systems of simple components exist in both biology and social systems. …

StarL for programming reliable robotic networks
Reasoning about programs controlling distributed robotic systems is challenging. These systems involve the interactions of multiple programs with each other over potentially unreliable communication channels and the interactions of these programs with an unpredictable physical environment. This …

Distributed Monte Carlo Tree Search With Applications To Chip Design
Monte Carlo Tree Search is a classic method in AI that builds up a search tree asymmetrically using random rollouts on a game tree. The work detailed in this thesis expands upon traditional implementations by allowing the capability of fully distributing each node onto different physical machines …

Exploits in Concurrency for Boolean Satisfiability
… alternative, hardware-centric approach, based on distributed Stochastic Local Search (SLS) that is better suited to efficient hardware implementation. Then a parallel SLS/CDCL hybrid approach is proposed that is suitable for distributed search with minimal communication overhead while maintaining …

A Bandwidth-Conserving Architecture for Crawling Virtual Worlds
… technologies that challenge traditional search technologies. As 3D environments become both more prevalent and more fragmented, the need for a data crawler and distributed search service will continue to grow. By increasing the visibility of content across virtual world servers in order …

Crowdsourcing decision support: frugal human computation for efficient decision input acquisition
… such as Amazon Mechanical Turk and others in a distributed search party for the needed information. However, the strategies that individuals employ when confronted with too much information--satisficing, information foraging, etc.--are more difficult to apply with a large, distributed group. …

Lightweight Federation of Non-Cooperating Digital Libraries
… digital libraries (DLs). The objective of this research is to demonstrate the feasibility of interoperability among non-cooperating DLs by presenting a lightweight, data driven approach, or Data Centered Interoperability (DCI). We build a Lightweight Federated Digital Library (LFDL) system to …

A Framework for Influencing Massive Virtual Organizations
… provided to allow the administrator to guide the search process by injecting solutions known to work for a particular agent. The performance of the framework is evaluated via comparison to individual state-space search.
