Goal-Driven Optimization

چکیده
Achieving a target objective, goal or aspiration level are relevant aspects of decision making under uncertainties. We develop a goal driven stochastic optimization model that takes into account an aspiration level. Our model maximizes the shortfall aspiration level criterion, which encompasses the probability of success in achieving the goal and an expected level of under-performance or shortfall. The key advantage of the proposed model is its tractability. We show that proposed model is reduced to solving a small collections of stochastic linear optimization problems with objectives evaluated under the popular conditional-value-at-risk (CVaR) measure. Using techniques in robust optimization, we propose a decision rule based deterministic approximation of the goal driven optimization problem by solving a polynomial number of subproblems with respect to the accuracy, with each subproblem being a second order cone optimization problem (SOCP). We compare the numerical performance of the deterministic approximation with sampling approximation and report the computational insights on a multi-product Newsvendor problem. ∗NUS Business School, National University of Singapore.

Uncertainty handling in goal-driven self-optimization - Limiting the negative effect on adaptation
Goal-driven self-optimization through feedback loops has shown effectiveness in reducing oscillating utilities due to a large number of uncertain factors in the runtime environments. However, such self-optimization is less satisfactory when there contains uncertainty in the predefined requirements goal models, such as imprecise contributions and unknown quality preferences, or during the switch...

متن کاملEvent-driven and Attribute-driven Robustness
Over five decades have passed since the first wave of robust optimization studies conducted by Soyster and Falk. It is outstanding that real-life applications of robust optimization are still swept aside; there is much more potential for investigating the exact nature of uncertainties to obtain intelligent robust models. For this purpose, in this study, we investigate a more refined description...
