    摘要: Apparatus and method use a Markov decision process (MDP) to reduce the cost of variations in electric power usage. The user notifies a power company of a predicted value for a period. The period is divided into subsections. For each subsection, on the basis of a MDP including a state that depends on an electric power usage amount error, charge amount, and set target, the amount of charging and discharging of a storage battery as an action at any given time is optimally decided depending on the electric power usage amount error, charge amount, time, and set target at that time. A predetermined time in a subsection is a target setting time, at which a future target is further set as the action. The action includes deciding the charging and discharging amount in that subsection and deciding a future target in a subsection whose target should be set.

    摘要: A better configuration for a computerized system is determined by performing a first stage and a second stage. In the first stage, the performance of each system configuration, including candidate configurations and a standard configuration, is evaluated, and the number of scenarios needed in the second stage is determined. In the second stage, the performance of each scenario of the standard configuration is evaluated, and the mean thereof is determined. For each candidate configuration, the performance of each scenario of the candidate configuration is evaluated, and the mean thereof is determined. Where the candidate configuration's mean is greater than the standard configuration's mean by a threshold, it is selected as the better configuration. Where no candidate configuration's mean is greater than the standard configuration's mean by the threshold, the standard configuration is selected as the better configuration.
