Various policies for controlling jobs in a problem oriented computer system are consid ered. The proposed algorithms belong to the class of search algorithms; they require a large (and, typ ically, unknown) amount of computations. The problem is to select a dynamic policy for redistributing resources between jobs under uncertainty. The analysis of resource reallocation rules uses probability theory and computer simulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
