The abstract follows.
In the sequential testing problem, the goal is to evaluate a Boolean (or 
discrete) function with the minimum expected cost, where the values of 
the variables can be learned by paying a cost. The variables take values 
independent of each other with known probabilities. For a simple series 
system, a solution is a permutation of the variables, whereas in the 
general case, a solution can be described by a binary decision tree. The 
problem has been studied in different domains for various applications. 
In this talk, we will define various extensions of the problem and focus 
on works published in the last 20 years to provide a comprehensive 
review of the results obtained. We also provide insights to explore 
potential areas for future research.
The next talk in our series will be Bruno Escoffier (LIP6, Sorbonne) | 
April 15 | Resource Leveling For Scheduling Problems: Some Complexity 
And Approximation Results.
