Abstract— TCP/IP can be interpreted as a distributed primaldual algorithm to maximize aggregate utility over source rates. It has recently been shown that an equilibrium of TCP/I...
We study how to find plans that maximize the expected total utility for a given MDP, a planning objective that is important for decision making in high-stakes domains. The optimal...
— We consider the fundamental delay tradeoffs for utility optimal scheduling in a general network with time varying channels. A network controller acts on randomly arriving data ...
We contrast three decision rules that extend Expected Utility to contexts where a convex set of probabilities is used to depict uncertainty: Γ-Maximin, Maximality, and E-admissib...

Abstract. Middleware for pervasive spaces has to meet conflicting requirements. It has to both maximize the utility of the information exposed and ensure that this information doe...
