In this question, we will investigate shallow search, also known as depth-limited search. Depth-limited search is not guaranteed to find the optimal solution to the original problem. The point of this question is to explore some of the (potentially undesirable) behavior of depth-limited search, and to illustrate that the quality of the evaluation function can play a big role in how well depth-limited search performs. Consider the following Pacman configuration, in the board below. At each time step, Pacman can move either West (left) or East (right) and is using limited-depth minimax search (where the minimizing agent does not really do anything) to choose his next move. Pacman is 3 East moves away from the food. We will consider the following state evaluation functions:F1 (state) = -Number of food pellets left F2(state) = -Number of food pellets left + 0.5/(distance to closest food pellet + 1); distance to closest food pellet is taken as 0 when no food remains. The search depth referred to in this question corresponds to the depth in a search tree that only considers the maximizer's actions. For example, if the search considers sequences of up to 2 actions by the maximizer, it'd have a search depth of 2. In the questions below, optimality means that the action is an optimal first action according to the search tree with the specified depth and the specified evaluation function. In each of these questions, there are 5 different search trees under consideration: one of depth 1. one of depth 2 ..., and one of depth 5. Note that there can be more than one optimal action for a given search tree (this can happen whenever there are ties). Also, note that a search does not finish when the dots are eaten. Using F1 as the state evaluation function, for what search depths will West be an optimal action? 1 2 3 4 5

Consider a slotted aloha system, where the time slot equals the fixed duration of each packet. assume that there are 4 stations a,b,c,d sharing the medium. (a) stations a,b,c,d receive one packet each from higher layers at times 1.3, 1.5, 2.6,5.7 respectively. show which transmissions take place when, according to the slottedaloha protocol; describe all transmissions until all four packets have been successful.when needed, each station has access to the following sequence of random number, provided by a random number generator and drawn uniformly between 0 and 1: (1) station a draws numbers: 0.31, 0.27, 0.78, 0.9, 0.9, 0.11, 0. (2) station b draws numbers: 0.45, 0.28, 0.11, 0.83, 0.37, 0.22, 0. (3)station c draws numbers: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0. (4) station d draws numbers: 0.36, 0.77, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0. (b) in slotted aloha, a station transmits in each time slot with a given probability. what probabilities would you assign to each of the four stations so as to: (i) maximize the efficiency of the protocol? (ii) maximize fairness among the four stations? (c) will the efficiency increase or decrease if we modify slotted aloha as follows: (i) get rid of slots and allow stations to transmit immediately? (ii) implement carrier sensing? (iii) implement collision detection? (iv) implement collision avoidance?
