One of the open questions in the design of multimedia storage servers is in what order to serve incoming requests. Given the capability provided by the disk layout and scheduling ...
Two notions of optimality have been explored in previous work on hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL): hierarchical optimality, or the optimal policy in the space defined by ...
Performance evaluation of computer networks through traditional packet-level simulation is becoming increasingly difficult as networks grow in size along different dimensions. Due...
