We consider a single-item, periodic review inventory control problem where discrete stochastic demand must be satisfied. When shortages occur, the unmet demand must be filled by...
In this paper we extend the control methodology based on Extended Markov Tracking (EMT) by providing the control algorithm with capabilities to calibrate and even partially recons...
This article presents a detailed discussion of LRE-TL (Local Remaining Execution - TL-plane), an algorithm that schedules hard real-time periodic and sporadic task sets with uncon...
: We describe a method to find low cost shift schedules with a time-varying service level that is always above a specified minimum. Most previous approaches used a two-step procedu...
Approximate policy iteration methods based on temporal differences are popular in practice, and have been tested extensively, dating to the early nineties, but the associated conve...
