<p>The Monte Carlo Rollout method (MCR) is a novel approach to solve combinatorial optimization problems with uncertainties approximatively. It combines ideas from Rollout algorithms for combinatorial optimization and the Monte Carlo Tree Search in game theory. In this paper the results of an investigation of applying the MCR to a Scheduling Problem are shown. The quality of the MCR method depends on the model parameters, search depth and search width, which are strong linked to process parameters. These dependencies are analyzed by different simulations. The paper also deals with the question whether the Lookahead Pathology occurs. </p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
