The paper aims to give a unified account of the central concepts in recent work on bandit processes and dynamic allocation indices; to show how these reduce some previously intractable problems to the problem of calculating such indices; and to describe how these calculations may be carried out. Applications to stochastic scheduling, sequential clinical trials and a class of search problems are discussed.
