Stochastic Dynamic Programming Based Approaches to Sensor Resource Management

چکیده
This paper describes a stochastic dynamic programming based approach to solve Sensor Resource Management (SRM) problems such as occur in tracking multiple targets with electronically scanned, multi-mode radar. Specifically, it formulates the SRM problem as a stochastic scheduling problem and develops approximate solutions based on the Gittins index rule. Novel results include a hybrid state stochastic model for the information dynamics of tracked targets, an exact index rule solution of the SRM problem for a simplified tracking model, and use of approximate dynamic programming to extend the index rule solution to more realistic models.

Svenson Stochastic dynamic programming for resource allocation
not more than 200 words) Resource allocation and management is an important part of the future network-based defence. In order to provide an adequate situation picture for commanders in the field, sensor platforms must be guided correctly and the needs of different users must be prioritized correctly. Other important problems which require resource allocation include determining where soldiers ...

We consider an asset-liability management (ALM) problem for a defined benefit pension fund (PF). The PF manager is assumed to follow a maximal fund valuation problem facing an extended set of risk factors: due to the longevity of the PF members, the inflation affecting salaries in real terms and future incomes, interest rates and market factors affecting jointly the PF liability and asset p...

Nowadays, with the use of devices such as fossil distributed generation and renewable energy resources and energy storage systems that are operated at the level of distribution networks, the problem of optimal reconfiguration has faced major challenges, so any change in the power of this resources can have different results in reconfiguration. Similarly, load changes during the day can lead to ...

متن کاملAn efficient symmetric polynomial-based key establishment protocol for wireless sensor networks
An essential requirement for providing secure services in wireless sensor networks is the ability to establish pairwise keys among sensors. Due to resource constraints on the sensors, the key establishment scheme should not create significant overhead. To date, several key establishment schemes have been proposed. Some of these have appropriate connectivity and resistance against key exposure, ...
