By identifying what we think are desirable characteristics of pruning heuristics, and what attributes are important for them to consider, we hope to understand better the shortcomings of existing techniques, and to provide some additional insight into how they can be improved. We view this work as a first step towards the goal of improving existing forward-pruning methods.}, bib2html_pubtype = {Refereed Workshop}, bib2html_rescat = {Search, Games} }
