We study a new class of decentralized algorithms for discrete optimization via simulation, which is inspired by the fictitious play algorithm applied to games with identical inte...
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...
POMDPs and their decentralized multiagent counterparts, DEC-POMDPs, offer a rich framework for sequential decision making under uncertainty. Their computational complexity, howeve...

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 ...
