Resource management of resource-controlled system

A method comprising:

• selecting a modification action having at least one resource variation parameter, wherein the resource variation parameter represents a resource quantity to be added or removed in the resource-controlled system,
• updating a value function of an adaptive learning agent as a function of one or more performance metrics measured after the resources of the resource-controlled system have been modified by effecting the modification action, wherein the one or more performance metrics relate to the resource-controlled system, wherein the value function represents a desirability of the resource-controlled system as a function of one or more system states, wherein selecting the modification action further comprises:
• selecting a first resource variation parameter, and
• assessing whether the modification action having the first resource variation parameter fulfills at least one safety criterion, and
• substituting the first resource variation parameter by a second resource variation parameter having a finer scale resource quantity than the first resource variation parameter responsive to the safety criterion not being fulfilled.

A non-transitory computer program comprising executable code for causing an apparatus to perform at least the following:

• selecting a modification action having at least one resource variation parameter, wherein the resource variation parameter represents a resource quantity to be added or removed in a resource-controlled system,
• updating a value function of an adaptive learning agent as a function of one or more performance metrics measured after the resources of the resource-controlled system have been modified by effecting the modification action,
• wherein the one or more performance metrics relate to the resource-controlled system,
• wherein the value function represents a desirability of the resource-controlled system as a function of one or more system states,
• wherein selecting the modification action further comprises:
• selecting a first resource variation parameter, and
• assessing whether the modification action having the first resource variation parameter fulfills at least one safety criterion, and
• substituting the first resource variation parameter by a second resource variation parameter having a finer scale resource quantity than the first resource variation parameter responsive to the safety criterion not being fulfilled.
