This paper addresses the challenge of multi-policy optimization
in decentralized autonomic systems. We evaluate several
multi-policy reinforcement learning-based optimization
techniques in an urban tra c control simulation, ...

Integrating individual intelligent transportation systems into comprehensive platforms is a key challenge faced by transport authorities in the provision of optimal service s to users. The use of an ITS architecture ...
While it is desirable for all computing and communications systems to have well-defined and verifiable behaviour, autonomic systems must additionally guarantee that their adaptive behaviour is correct, both in the sense ...
This paper introduces Collaborative Reinforcement Learning (CRL), a coordination model for solving system-wide optimisation problems in distributed systems where there is no support for global state. In CRL the autonomic ...
Large-scale autonomic systems are required to self-optimize with respect to high-level policies, that can differ in terms of their priority, as well as their spatial and temporal scope. Decentralized multiagent systems ...

Distributed W-Learning (DWL) is a reinforcement learning-based algorithm for multi-policy optimization in agent-based systems. In this poster we propose the use of DWL for de-centralized multi-policy optimization in autonomic ...

In this work, we compare current approaches to dynamic adaptation (DA) and identify the need for further research on mechanisms for DA, which should allow for higher compositionality and flexibility. Moreover, after exploring ...
Traits offer a fine-grained mechanism to compose classes from reusable components
while avoiding problems of fragility brought by multiple inheritance and mixins. Traits as originally proposed are stateless, that is, they ...
This paper describes a complete denotational semantics, in the UTP framework, of slotted-Circus, a generic framework for reasoning about discrete timed/synchronously clocked systems. The key result presented here is a ...
