Combining Stochastic Task Models with Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Scheduling

چکیده

We view dynamic scheduling as a sequential decision problem. Firstly, we introduce a generalized planning operator, the stochastic task model (STM), which predicts the effects of executing a particular task on state, time and reward using a general procedural format (pure stochastic function). Secondly, we show that effective planning under uncertainty can be obtained by combining adaptive horizon stochastic planning with reinforcement learning (RL) in a hybrid system. The bene£ts of the hybrid approach are evaluated using a repeatable job shop scheduling task.

A Framework for Reinforcement-Based Scheduling in Parallel Processor Systems

Task scheduling is important for the proper functioning of parallel processor systems. The static scheduling of tasks onto networks of parallel processors is well-defined and documented in the literature. However, in many practical situations a priori information about the tasks that need to be scheduled is not available. In such situations, tasks usually arrive dynamically and the scheduling s...

Combining Planning with Reinforcement Learning for Multi-robot Task Allocation

We describe an approach to the multi-robot task allocation (MRTA) problem in which a group of robots must perform tasks that arise continuously, at arbitrary locations across a large space. A dynamic scheduling algorithm is derived in which proposed plans are evaluated using a combination of short-term lookahead and a value function acquired by reinforcement learning. We demonstrate that this d...
