The improved sweep metaheuristic for simulation optimization and application to job shop scheduling
We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...

Optimizing fixed-size stochastic controllers for POMDPs and decentralized POMDPs
POMDPs and their decentralized multiagent counterparts, DEC-POMDPs, offer a rich framework for sequential decision making under uncertainty. Their computational complexity, howeve...

Stochastic frame buffers for rate distortion optimized loss resilient video communications
In this paper we propose an error control scheme for video communications over lossy channels. The proposed algorithm uses stochastic frame buffers(SFB) to determine the expected ...
