Again, a heuristic is used to improve the search efficiency. At each step the expansion of nodes is resumed from the most promising node opened so far, no matter, where it is in the tree. os = Demonstration ° > Shockwave Animation (36k) - see a best first search. Algorithm 1. Forma one clement gusue.Q consisting of the root node 2. Until Q is empty or the goal has been reached, determine if the first element in Qs the goal. 2. Ifitis, do nothing b. If's isn't, remove the element from Q and add the first element's children to the Q 1 Q by estimated zemaining distance. 3. If the goal'is reached, success; else Evaluation This is a complete scarch. Search Cost ‘With such a variable search as this itis impossible to determine what, if any, improvements to efficiency will be made. A heuristic's very nature defies such evaluation. Non-optimal ‘This algorithm will not necessarily find the most efficient route through the state Finding the best route is the subject of the next section. » Next: Optimal Search Methods 4 Back: Beam Search http://www-jesu,jesus.cam.ac-uk/~tdk22/project/bestfirst.htm! 28/04/2005
