Abstract--Peer-to-peer (P2P) video-on-demand (VoD) is a popular Internet service for a large number of concurrent users. Streaming capacity in a P2P VoD system is defined as the ma...
We study four scheduling problems involving the maximum lateness criterion and an element of batching. For all the problems that we examine, algorithms appear in the literature th...
This paper presents an improved differential evolution (IDE) method for the solution of large-scale unit commitment (UC) problems. The objective of the proposed scheme is to determ...
Reinforcement learning policies face the exploration versus exploitation dilemma, i.e. the search for a balance between exploring the environment to find profitable actions while t...
Modeling the behavior of imperfect agents from a small number of observations is a difficult, but important task. In the singleagent decision-theoretic setting, inverse optimal co...
