We consider a sequential decision problem where the rewards are generated by a piecewise-stationary distribution. However, the different reward distributions are unknown and may c...
Today’s Internet users and applications are placing increased demands on Internet service providers (ISPs) to deliver fine-grained, flexible route control. To assist network o...

iFlow is a replication-based system that can achieve both fast and reliable processing of high volume data streams on the Internet scale. iFlow uses a low degree of replication in...
In this paper, we study a particular subclass of partially observable models, called quasi-deterministic partially observable Markov decision processes (QDET-POMDPs), characterize...
