Fair charge heuristics for dynamic resource allocation --- a queueing example

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Neil Walton .

We develop a notion of a fair charge for the allocation of additional resource to a reward earning object (project) whose stochastic evolution depends upon how much resource it receives. Under a critical condition, heuristics based on such fair charges are effective for problems concerning the dynamic allocation of a divisible resource (money, manpower) among a set of such projects. We illustrate ideas by reference to a queueing example in which a set of servers is to be dynamically allocated to a collection of service stations.

Keywords: Gittins’ Indices, Whittle relaxation, restless bandits.
