Abstract
Different strategies can be used to search for a moving
object.
If the searcher's action at each time unit maximizes his
chances of immediate detection, his strategy is said to be
myopic. If, however, the searcher seeks to allocate search
effort to maximize the probability of detecting the traget
within a preset amount of time, his strategy is called
optimal.
This thesis documents interactive computer programs that
are useful for testing search strategies against the myopic
strategy, and shows examples where the myopic strategy is
not optimal.
