Abstract
A method of using a virtual machine operator model includes providing a virtual machine operating environment having a current state and including a virtual machine and a virtual operator agent acting within the virtual machine operating environment. The method also includes executing a control action, by the virtual operator agent, relative to the virtual machine based on the virtual machine operator model. The method also includes analyzing a new state of the virtual machine operating environment resulting from execution of the control action, assigning a positive reward or a negative reward to the control action based on the new state, assigning the negative reward to the control action resulting in a high implement jerk movement of the virtual machine, and executing a learning algorithm to update the virtual machine operator model based on the positive reward or the negative reward.
