Ad-hoc Grids are highly heterogeneous and dynamic networks, one of the main challenges of resource allocation in such environments is to find mechanisms which do not rely on the ...
Learned models of behavior have the disadvantage that they must be retrained after any change in system configuration. Autonomic management methods based upon learned models lose ...
: In order to scale to problems with large or continuous state-spaces, reinforcement learning algorithms need to be combined with function approximation techniques. The majority of...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...
Abstract— Shared computing utilities allocate compute, network, and storage resources to competing applications on demand. An awareness of the demands and behaviors of the hosted...
