Solving Generalized Semi-Markov Decision Processes Using Continuous Phase-Type Distributions
We introduce the generalized semi-Markov decision process (GSMDP) as an extension of continuous-time MDPs and semi-Markov decision processes (SMDPs) for modeling stochastic decisi...

Communication in Multi-Agent Markov Decision Processes
In this paper, we formulate agent's decision process under the framework of Markov decision processes, and in particular, the multi-agent extension to Markov decision process...

A Markov Model for Multiagent Patrolling in Continuous Time
Abstract. We present a model for the multiagent patrolling problem with continuous-time. An anytime and online algorithm is then described and extended to asynchronous multiagent d...

An MDP-based admission control for a QoS-aware service-oriented system
In this paper, we address the problem of providing a service broker, which offers to prospective users a composite service with a range of different Quality of Service (QoS) class...

Mean field for Markov Decision Processes: from Discrete to Continuous Optimization
We study the convergence of Markov Decision Processes made of a large number of objects to optimization problems on ordinary differential equations (ODE). We show that the optimal...
