The achievable region approach to the optimal control of
stochastic systems
The last decade has seen a major research focus on the
optimisation of complex stochastic service systems, motivated
in part by applications to computer and telecommunications
networks. The achievable region approach to such problems
is radically different from conventional formulations based
on dynamic programming. The paper illustrates the approach
by a simple example and then describes some important recent
advances.
