Approximate Dynamic Programming in Transportation and Logistics: A Unified Framework
Deterministic optimization has enjoyed a rich place in transportation and logistics, where it represents a mature field with established modeling and algorithmic strategies. By contrast, sequential stochastic optimization models (dynamic programs) have been plagued by the lack of a common modeling framework, and by algorithmic strategies that just do not seem to scale to real-world problems in ...
متن کاملStochastic Programming in Transportation and Logistics
Freight transportation is characterized by highly dynamic information processes: customers call in orders over time to move freight; the movement of freight over long distances is subject to random delays; equipment failures require last minute changes; and decisions are not always executed in the field according to plan. The highdimensionality of the decisions involved has made transportation ...

متن کاملA unified framework for stochastic and dynamic programming
Stochastic programming and approximate dynamic programming have evolved as competing frameworks for solving sequential stochastic optimization problems, with proponents touting the strengths of their favorite approaches. With less visibility in this particular debate are communities working under names such as reinforcement learning, stochastic control, stochastic search and simulation-optimiza...
متن کاملExpAX: A Framework for Automating Approximate Programming
We present ExpAX, a framework for automating approxi-mate programming. ExpAX consists of these three compo-nents: (1) a programming model based on a new kind of pro-gram specification, which we refer to as error expectations.Our programming model enables programmers to implicitlyrelax the accuracy constraints without explicitly marking op-erations as approximate; (2) an ...
