Alexandria Engineering JournalInfrastructure assets, such as pavements, naturally deteriorate over time due to traffic loads, environmental conditions, and other external factors. Traditionally, deterministic models have been employed to predict performance, aiding in work planning ...

Modelling the purchase dynamics of insurance customers using Markov chains [PDF]
, 2005 This paper considers how various types of Markov chains can be used to help forecast the purchase behaviour of customers. The models are used in a case study of the purchase behaviour of the customers of a major insurance company.

Compositional Approximate Markov Chain Aggregation for PEPA Models [PDF]
, 2012 Approximate Markov chain aggregation involves the construction of a smaller Markov chain that approximates the behaviour of a given chain. We discuss two different approaches to obtain a nearly optimal partition of the state-space, based on different ...

Optimization of equipment maintenance policy using semi-Markov decision process [PDF]
U ovom radu istražuje se mogućnost primjene polu-Markovljevih procesa odlučivanja (SMDP) na optimizaciju politike održavanja opreme. Uvodno su opisane osnovne karakteristike Markovljevih i polu-Markovljevih procesa, te metode traženja optimuma ...

Solving Semi-Markov Decision Problems Using Average Reward Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
A large class of problems of sequential decision making under uncertainty, of which the underlying probability structure is a Markov process, can be modeled as stochastic dynamic programs (referred to, in general, as Markov decision problems or MDPs ...

Robot introspection through learned hidden Markov models [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper we describe a machine learning approach for acquiring a model of a robot behaviour from raw sensor data. We are interested in automating the acquisition of behavioural models to provide a robot with an introspective capability.

A uniform definition of stochastic process calculi [PDF]
, 2012 We introduce a unifying framework to provide the semantics of process algebras, including their quantitative variants useful for modeling quantitative aspects of behaviors.

Nonlinear Markov games on a finite state space (mean-field and binary interactions) [PDF]
, 2012 Managing large complex stochastic systems, including competitive interests, when one or several players can control the behavior of a large number of particles (agents, mechanisms, vehicles, subsidiaries, species, police units, etc), say Nk for a player ...

Sensors5G New Radio (NR)-V2X, standardized by 3GPP Release 16, includes a distributed resource allocation Mode, known as Mode 2, that allows vehicles to autonomously select transmission resources using either sensing-based semi-persistent scheduling (SB-SPS) or
