Mobile cloud computing promises a research foundation in information and communication technology (ICT). Multi‐access edge computing is an intermediate solution that reduces latency by delivering cloud computing services close to IoT and mobile clients (MCs), hence addressing the performance issues of mobile cloud computing.

Efficient Resource Allocation with Fairness Constraints in Restless Multi-Armed Bandits
Restless Multi-Armed Bandits (RMAB) is an apt model to represent decision-making problems in public health interventions (e.g., tuberculosis, maternal, and child care), anti-poaching planning, sensor monitoring, personalized recommendations and many more.

A generalised gittins index for a class of multi-armed bandits with general resource requirements [PDF]
We generalise classical multiarmed bandits to allow for the distribution of a (fixed amount of a) divisible resource among the constituent bandits at each decision point.

Interactive Restless Multi-armed Bandit Game and Swarm Intelligence Effect [PDF]
We obtain the conditions for the emergence of the swarm intelligence effect in an interactive game of restless multi-armed bandit (rMAB). A player competes with multiple agents. Each bandit has a payoff that changes with a probability $p_{c}$ per round.

Efficient Algorithms for Finite Horizon and Streaming Restless Multi-Armed Bandit Problems [PDF]
We propose Streaming Bandits, a Restless Multi-Armed Bandit (RMAB) framework in which heterogeneous arms may arrive and leave the system after staying on for a finite lifetime. Streaming Bandits naturally capture the health-intervention planning problem, where health workers must manage the health outcomes of a patient cohort while new patients join ...

Indexability and index heuristics for a simple class of inventory routing problems [PDF]
We utilise and develop Whittle's restless bandit formulation to analyse a simple class of inventory routing problems with direct deliveries. These routing problems arise from the practice of vendor-managed inventory replenishment and concern the optimal ...

Index policies for the admission control and routing of impatient customers to heterogeneous service stations [PDF]
We propose a general Markovian model for the optimal control of admissions and subsequent routing of customers for service provided by a collection of heterogeneous stations. Queue-length information is available to inform all decisions.

Networked Restless Bandits with Positive Externalities
Restless multi-armed bandits are often used to model budget-constrained resource allocation tasks where receipt of the resource is associated with an increased probability of a favorable state transition.
