Planning with continuous resources for agent teams

International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2009
Many problems of multiagent planning under uncertainty require distributed reasoning with continuous resources and resource limits. Decentralized Markov Decision Problems (Dec-MDPs) are well-suited to address such problems, but unfortunately, prior Dec-MDP approaches either discretize resources at the expense of speed and quality guarantees, or avoid ...

Human resources policies and continuity of care

Journal of Health Organization and Management, 2003
Explores the implications for continuity of care of the wide range of policy initiatives currently affecting the management and use of human resources in the UK National Health Service. Draws on the findings of a short study undertaken in 2001 comprising a policy document analysis and a series of expert seminars discussing the impact of the policies in

Continuous refinement of agent resource estimates

Proceedings of the fifth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems, 2006
The challenge we address is to reason about projected resource usage within a hierarchical task execution framework in order to improve agent effectiveness. Specifically, we seek to define and maintain maximally informative guaranteed bounds on projected resource requirements, in order to enable an agent to take full advantage of available resources ...

On periodic resource scheduling for continuous media databases

Proceedings Eighth International Workshop on Research Issues in Data Engineering. Continuous-Media Databases and Applications, 1998
The Enhanced Pay-Per-View (EPPV) service model provides an effective way of delivering continuous media (CM) data clips to a large number of different clients. The aim is to share CM streams among various clients, thereby increasing the level of concurrency beyond the capacity limitations of available resources, while guaranteeing an upper bound on the

Project Scheduling with Discrete and Continuous Resources

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 1979
Allocation is discussed of constrained resources among activities of a network project, when the resource requirements of activities concern a unit of a discrete resource (machine, processor) from a finite set of m parallel units and an amount of a continuously divisible resource (power, fuel flow, approximate manpower) which is arbitrary within a ...
