Ariel+Felner

an Israeli computer scientist and lecturer at [|Ben-Gurion University of the Negev]. In 2002, he received his Ph.D from Bar-Ilan University. His research interests include heuristic search, heuristics and pattern databases and [|mobile agents]. Pattern databases are large tables that store solutions to "patterns" or subproblems and are usually stored in main memory. These solutions are then used as heuristics that guide the search. || toc =Selected Publications=
