Predictive Representations of State
We show that states of a dynamical system can be usefully represented by multi-step, action-conditional predictions of future observations. State representations that are grounded...

Parallel processor scheduling with delay constraints
We consider the problem of scheduling unit-length jobs on identical parallel machines such that the makespan of the resulting schedule is minimized. Precedence constraints impose ...

Accounting for input model and parameter uncertainty in simulation
Taking into account input-model, input-parameter, and stochastic uncertainties inherent in many simulations, our Bayesian approach to input modeling yields valid point and confide...
