Sensor Planning with Non-linear Utility Functions
Sensor planning is concerned with when to sense and what to sense We study sensor planning in the context of planning objectives that trade o between minimizing the worst case expected and best case plan execution costs Sensor planning with these planning objectives is interesting because they are realistic and the frequency of sensing changes with the plan ning objective more pessimistic decis...
متن کاملProbabilistic Planning with Nonlinear Utility Functions
Researchers often express probabilistic planning problems as Markov decision process models and then maximize the expected total reward. However, it is often rational to maximize the expected utility of the total reward for a given nonlinear utility function, for example, to model attitudes towards risk in high-stake decision situations. In this paper, we give an overview of basic techniques fo...
متن کاملApplying Utility Functions to Adaptation Planning for Home Automation Applications
A pervasive computing environment typically comprises multiple embedded devices that may interact together and with mobile users. These users are part of the environment, and they experience it through a variety of devices embedded in the environment. This perception involves technologies which may be heterogeneous, pervasive and dynamic. Due to the highly dynamic properties of such environment...
متن کاملUtility Functions and Heuristics for Resource-Bounded Planning Applications
This paper proposes a structure for utility functions that are useful when modeling and solving important classes of practical planning applications--problems that are not adequately characterized by an additive utility function, but still have some additive structure. The structure is Xu(t)*mod(t,...) where is a function of how and when a single task is completed and rood(t,...) captures the e...
متن کاملOrdering infinite utility streams
We reconsider the problem of ordering infinite utility streams. As has been established in earlier contributions, if no representability condition is imposed, there exist strongly Paretian and finitely anonymous orderings of intertemporal utility streams.We examine the possibility of adding suitably formulated versions of classical equity conditions. First, we provide a characterization of all ...
