Reinforcement Learning (RL) is widely applied in Autonomous Systems (AS) as it allows learning at runtime without requiring an environment model or predefined actions. However, most RL applications in AS can only optimize one objective. To address this limitation, Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning (MORL) techniques have been developed to combine multiple objectives with predefined weights. This paper explores the application of MORL’s Deep W-Learning (DWN) technique to Emergent Web Servers, a self-adaptive server, to optimize runtime performance. The authors compare DWN with two single-objective optimization approaches: epsilon-greedy algorithm and Deep Q-Networks. Initial evaluation shows that DWN successfully optimizes multiple objectives simultaneously, achieving similar results to the other methods, while avoiding issues associated with combining multiple objectives.

This paper is about using a special kind of artificial intelligence called Reinforcement Learning (RL) in robots and self-driving cars. RL lets machines learn by trying different actions and seeing what happens. In this case, researchers are trying to use RL to make robots work better by finding the best way to combine multiple goals at once. They used a new technique called Deep W-Learning (DWN) and applied it to a special kind of robot that can adapt itself. The results show that DWN works well and is a good way to make decisions in complex situations.
