Abstract

This paper presents Adaptive Resource Allocation in Cloud Computing (ARAC), a novel approach to cloud management that leverages reinforcement learning for dynamic resource allocation. Traditional cloud platforms often rely on manual configuration and pre-defined rules, leading to suboptimal resource utilization and potentially degraded user experience. ARAC addresses this limitation by employing a reinforcement learning-based resource scheduling algorithm. This algorithm continuously learns and adapts to changing conditions, optimizing the allocation of virtual machines, storage, and bandwidth based on user requests, resource utilization rates, and system load. The core claim of ARAC is to design a cloud platform capable of automatically adjusting resource allocations in response to evolving demands. The system's mechanism involves a dynamic adjustment of resources, aiming for optimal utilization and a superior user experience. This paper outlines the architecture, the reinforcement learning framework, and the key components of ARAC, demonstrating its potential to significantly improve cloud computing efficiency and responsiveness. ---

Residual RL on a PSO-tuned Fuzzy Controller for Mobile Robot Trajectory Tracking

This paper presents a two-wheeled mobile robot trajectory-tracking controller combining a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-tuned fuzzy logic controller (FLC) with a residual reinforcement learning (RL) correction layer.PSO tuning reduces the global distance error by 35% and the integral absolute error by 44% over the initial FLC.The residual RL layer further reduces the global distance error by approximately 2.3% and improves cornering-region tracking by 3.9% in RMSE, 4.7% in IAE, and 5.2% in peak distance error.The proposed controller also reduces the global distance error by 41% and 66% relative to independently tuned PID and fuzzy-PID baselines.Trained across four trajectory families with a held-out test split, the generalized agent reduces the average test distance error by 18% relative to the tuned FLC baseline.These results show that a lightweight residual correction improves both accuracy and generalization while preserving the fuzzy controller's interpretability.
