The launch of new features for mobile phones is increasing and the product life cycle symmetrically decreasing in duration as higher levels of sophistication are reached. Therefor...
— This paper addresses model reduction for a Markov chain on a large state space. A simulation-based framework is introduced to perform state aggregation of the Markov chain base...
We propose new techniques to simplify the computation of the cycle times and the absorption times for a large class of PEPA models. These techniques allow us to simplify the model ...
Factored representations, model-based learning, and hierarchies are well-studied techniques for improving the learning efficiency of reinforcement-learning algorithms in large-sca...
