Analysis of infinite servers polling systems with correlated input process and state dependent vacations

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine a new approach to modeling and investigating systems of multiple queues attended by an infinite number of coupled servers. The model allows the performance of both steady-state and transient analyses as well as the analysis of other service disciplines. the analysis requires the solution of system of linear equations to compute various performance measures. Results indicate that the proposed method is the only one currently available for the analysis of the systems.

A K-step look-ahead analysis of Value Iteration algorithms for Markov decision processes

Article Abstract:

A look-ahead method for Value Iteration Algorithms used in solving both discounted and undiscounted Markov decision processes is presented. Based on the value-oriented concept which incorporates multiple adaptive relaxation factors, the approach leads to procedures which perform better than the separate application of either the concept of value oriented or of relaxation. The approach also appears useful in solving large-scale Markov decision processes.
