Applying reinforcement learning towards automating resource allocation and application scalability in the cloud
Duggan, Jim; Howley, Enda; Barrett, Enda (Wiley, 2012-05-30)Public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) clouds such as Amazon, GoGrid and Rackspace deliver computational resources by means of virtualisation technologies. These technologies allow multiple independent virtual machines ... -
Autonomous hvac control, a reinforcement learning approach
Barrett, Enda; Linder, Stephen (Springer Verlag, 2015-08-29)Abstract—Recent high profile developments of autonomous learning thermostats by companies such as Nest Labs and Honeywell have brought to the fore the possibility of ever greater numbers of intelligent devices permeating ... -
Deep reinforcement learning for home energy management system control
Lissa, Paulo; Deane, Conor; Schukat, Michael; Seri, Federico; Keane, Marcus; Barrett, Enda (Elsevier, 2021-12-26)The use of machine learning techniques has been proven to be a viable solution for smart home energy management. These techniques autonomously control heating and domestic hot water systems, which are the most relevant ... -
A learning architecture for scheduling workflow applications in the cloud
Barrett, Enda; Howley, Enda; Duggan, Jim (IEEE, 2011-09-15)The scheduling of workflow applications involves the mapping of individual workflow tasks to computational resources, based on a range of functional and non-functional quality of service requirements. Workflow applications ... -
Transfer learning applied to DRL-Based heat pump control to leverage microgrid energy efficiency
Lissa, Paulo; Schukat, Michael; Keane, Marcus M.; Barrett, Enda (Elsevier, 2021-09-11)Domestic hot water accounts for approximately 15% of the total residential energy consumption in Europe, and most of this usage happens during specific periods of the day, resulting in undesirable peak loads. The increase ...
