Performance Analysis of a Consensus Algorithm Combining Stochastic Activity Networks and Measurements
Protocols which solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distributed applications. While many protocols have been published, little has been done ...

Using performance fronts for parameter setting of stochastic metaheuristics
In this work, we explore the idea that parameter setting of stochastic metaheuristics should be considered as a multiobjective problem. The so-called “performance fronts” pres...

Approximation in Preemptive Stochastic Online Scheduling
Abstract. We present a first constant performance guarantee for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release ...

Probabilistic reachability and safety for controlled discrete time stochastic hybrid systems
In this work, probabilistic reachability over a finite horizon is investigated for a class of discrete time stochastic hybrid systems with control inputs. A suitable embedding of ...

Optimization and Convergence of Observation Channels in Stochastic Control
This paper studies the optimization of observation channels (stochastic kernels) in partially observed stochastic control problems. In particular, existence, continuity, and convex...
