In this paper we describe Maestro, a dataflow computation framework for Ibis, our Java-based grid middleware. The novelty of Maestro is that it is a self-organizing peer-to-peer s...
In reinforcement learning, an agent interacting with its environment strives to learn a policy that specifies, for each state it may encounter, what action to take. Evolutionary c...
Operations research and management science are often confronted with sequential decision making problems with large state spaces. Standard methods that are used for solving such c...
Abstract. This paper describes the application of a decentralised coordination algorithm, called Collaborative Reinforcement Learning (CRL), to two different distributed system pr...
