We study an approach to policy selection for large relational Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). We consider a variant of approximate policy iteration (API) that replaces the usual...
Modern distributed software applications generally operate in complex and heterogeneous computing environments (like the World Wide Web). Different paradigms (client-server, mobili...
1 We consider the problem of scheduling an unknown sequence of tasks for a single server as the tasks arrive with the goal off maximizing the total weighted value of the tasks serv...
We consider a general adversarial stochastic optimization model. Our model involves the design of a system that an adversary may subsequently attempt to destroy or degrade. We int...

— We consider the problem of distributing a content of finite size to a group of users connected through an overlay network that is built by a peer-to-peer application. The goal...
