Decision Making in Non-Deterministic Environments

چکیده
My PhD research is focused on Web Service Composition through the use of AI planning techniques, considering the domain as an inherently non-deterministic one. The main goal of my research is to build a system in which an end user will be able to search for suitable web services, add new ones, and create new composite ones either manually or automatically. As a practical example of the usefulness of such a system we plan on integrating it into a personal time management platform; the goal of this line of research is to allow for a user to indicate a task that he wants to perform on his personal time and the system being able to produce composite web services that may achieve such a task automatically. The results of my work so far include the implementation of an online platform that has an integrated web service registry and allows its users to semiautomatically create a new, composite web service. We are currently working on non-deterministic algorithms that will be integrated into the automatic web service composition module.

Non-Deterministic Policies in Markovian Decision Processes
Markovian processes have long been used to model stochastic environments. Reinforcement learning has emerged as a framework to solve sequential planning and decision-making problems in such environments. In recent years, attempts were made to apply methods from reinforcement learning to construct decision support systems for action selection in Markovian environments. Although conventional meth...

متن کاملDecision making in forest management with consideration of stochastic prices
The optimal harvesting policy is calculated as a function of the entering stock, the price state, the harvesting cost, and the rate of interest in the capital market. In order to determine the optimal harvest schedule, the growth function and stumpage price process are estimated for the Swedish mixed species forests. The stumpage price is assumed to follow a stochastic Markov process. A stoch...
متن کاملA generalized super-efficiency model for ranking extreme efficient DMUs in stochastic DEA
In this current study a generalized super-efficiency model is first proposed for ranking extreme efficient decision making units (DMUs) in stochastic data envelopment analysis (DEA) and then, a deterministic (crisp) equivalent form of the stochastic generalized super-efficiency model is presented. It is shown that this deterministic model can be converted to a quadratic programming model. So fa...
متن کاملStochastic Decision Making in Manufacturing Environments
Decision making plays an important role in economics, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, statistics and many other fields. In each field, decision making consists of identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues that define the decision. In any field, the nature of the decisions is affected by environmental characteristics. In this paper, we are considered the production planning pro...

Long-term planning is a challenging process for dealing with problems in big industries. Quick and flexible process of responding to the existing variable requirements are considered in such problems. Some of important strategic decisions which should be made in this field are, namely the way that manufacturing facilities should be applied as well as assignment and design the system of delivery...
