Abstract--We investigate the problem of finding minimum-distortion policies for streaming delay-sensitive but distortion-tolerant data. We consider cross-layer approaches which exp...
One of the most important policies adopted in inventory control is the (R,S) policy (also known as the “replenishment cycle” policy). Under the non-stationary demand assumption...
Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) have been extensively studied and used in the context of planning and decision-making, and many methods exist to find the optimal policy for probl...
Lean principles require the identification of an ideal system state along with an associated policy to achieve that state. This paper discusses the use of multi-criteria models in...
It is well known that stochastic control systems can be viewed as Markov decision processes (MDPs) with continuous state spaces. In this paper, we propose to apply the policy iter...
