This paper addresses the following hitherto unstudied question in renewable resource management: How should a resource manager set the temporal control optimally for renewable resources such as rangelands and fisheries that are managed with spatial and temporal controls? We use a dynamic and stochastic framework to first derive the resource manager’s long run average net cost function. We then ...

Autonomous stochastic moving multi-agents are not easy to analyze the behavior of them. We consider a resource consisting of cells arranged along lines, and restrict moving ranges of agents at each step so that their agents have time-lag. We assume there are interaction among agents, so each agent can not move to destination cells when their cells are occupied by agents more than the agents of ...

This paper investigates the relationship between resource allocation and ES-policies, which are a type of scheduling policies introduced for stochastic scheduling and which can be represented by a directed acyclic graph. We present a formal treatment of resource flows as a representation of resource-allocation decisions, extending the existing literature. Our results lead to suggestions for eff...

The allocation of anti-air warfare weapon is an important aspect of command and control for a Frigate. This paper contributes to solve effectively the stochastic resource allocation problems known to be NP-Complete. Indeed, recently, efficient resource allocation algorithms have been developed in Artificial Intelligence which could improve adapt C2 to the 21st century. To address this complex r...

Simulation modelling is an important tool for exploring and reasoning about complex systems. Many supporting languages are available. Commonly occurring features of these languages are constructs capturing concepts such as process, resource, and location. We describe a mathematical framework that supports a modelling idiom based on these core concepts, and which adopts stochastic methods for re...

We study an idealised sequential resource allocation problem. In each time step the learner chooses an allocation of several resource types between a number of tasks. Assigning more resources to a task increases the probability that it is completed. The problem is challenging because the alignment of the tasks to the resource types is unknown and the feedback is noisy. Our main contribution is ...

The paradigm of randomly-furcating stochastic differential games incorporates additional stochastic elements via randomly branching payoffs in stochastic differential games. This paper considers dynamically stable cooperative solutions in randomly furcating stochastic differential games. Analytically tractable payoff distribution procedures contingent upon specific random realizations of the st...

In this paper, a survey of some of the approaches to task scheduling in grid computing systems based on resource availability is discussed. To improve task scheduling, resource availability can be predicted by multistate availability predictors. Execution time of each application is modeled by a random variable. Each application is associated with a set of probability mass function (pmf), one p...

the technical efficiency involved in cocoa production in cross river state was estimated using the stochastic frontier production function analysis. the effects of some selected socio- economic characteristics of the farmers on the efficiency indices were also estimated. the study relied upon primary data generated from interviewing cocoa farmers using a set of structured questionnaire. a multi...
