This paper presents a new reinforcement learning scheme called B-Learning. This approach leads to an estimate of the expected benefits provided by each action with respect to the current policy. This algorithm performs a one-step ahead exhaustive search in the action space and allows the introduction of additional constraints. The method is successfully applied to the control of a water production plant.
