Utility-Maximizing Resource Control: Diffusion Limit and Asymptotic Optimality for a Two-Bottleneck Model
We study a stochastic network that consists of two servers shared by two classes of jobs. Class 1 jobs require a concurrent occupancy of both servers while class 2 jobs use one se...

Communication-Based Decomposition Mechanisms for Decentralized MDPs
Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing,...
