Quantile Markov decision process [PDF]

, 2020
The goal of a traditional Markov decision process (MDP) is to maximize expected cumulative reward over a defined horizon (possibly infinite). In many applications, however, a decision maker may be interested in optimizing a specific quantile of the ...

A New Decision Support Framework for Managing Foot-and-mouth Disease Epidemics [PDF]

, 2014
Animal disease epidemics such as the foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) pose recurrent threat to countries with intensive livestock production. Efficient FMD control is crucial in limiting the damage of FMD epidemics and securing food production.

Task admission control for application service operators in mobile cloud computing

EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2020
The resource constraint has become an important factor hindering the further development of mobile devices (MDs). Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is a new approach proposed to extend MDs’ capacity and improve their performance by task offloading.

Average Reward Optimality in Semi-Markov Decision Processes with Costly Interventions [PDF]

, 2023
In this note we consider semi-Markov reward decision processes evolving on finite state spaces. We focus attention on average reward models, i.e. we establish explicit formulas for the growth rate of the total expected reward. In contrast to the standard
