Workshop
YEQT-IV (Young European Queueing Theorists)
"Optimal Control in Stochastic Systems"
November 25-27, 2010
Summary
Optimal control in stochastic systems is increasingly demanding more
research due to their complexity and the inherent randomness encountered
within their scopes. A wide variety of mathematical frameworks have been
developed to enhance the optimal control of stochastic systems. The focus
has been primarily on investigating appealing structures of the optimal
policies in various application domains.
The importance of optimal policy structures is twofold; first they provide
valuable insight regarding the behavior of the system through
easy-to-interpret optimal policies, such as control limit policies. Second,
they can be exploited to develop computationally efficient solution
algorithms to compute the optimal policies. Optimal control of stochastic
systems is of crucial importance across numerous application domains such as
manufacturing and production systems, service systems, communication systems,
healthcare systems, and logistics.
This workshop aims to bring together both young and well experienced
researchers, active in the field of optimal control in stochastic systems,
broadly defined. The workshop includes keynote speakers, tutorials and
invited presentations by renowned researchers. It is the fourth in the
series Young European Queueing Theorists (YEQT), organized within the
framework of EURANDOM's Queueing and Performance Analysis program. The first
meeting was devoted to transient and asymptotic analysis of queueing systems,
the second one focused on the stochastic analysis of modern communication
networks, and the third one for Scheduling and Resource Sharing in Queueing
Networks.
