Abstract We consider Markov Decision Processes under light traffic conditions. We develop an algorithm to obtain asymptotically optimal policies for both the total discounted and the …
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged former norms in hospital operations and motivated innovative strategies for allocating healthcare resources. We present three strategies for …
Using large-scale MRI services data, a multi-type multi-priority scheduling system, we measure service duration and show that a number of covariates, including the shift during …
