On-line Optimal Control of a Class of Discrete Event Systems with Real-Time Constraints
We consider Discrete Event Systems (DES) involving tasks with real-time constraints and seek to control processing times so as to minimize a cost function subject to each task mee...

On Regression-Based Stopping Times
We study approaches that fit a linear combination of basis functions to the continuation value function of an optimal stopping problem and then employ a greedy policy based on the...

On the Performance Evaluation of Multi-Guarded Marked Graphs with Single-Server Semantics
In discrete event systems, a given task can start executing when all the required input data are available. The required input data for a given task may change along the evolution...
