The recent progress in Reinforcement Learning applications to Resource Management presents MDPs without a deeper analysis of the impacts of design decisions on agent performance. In this paper, we compare and contrast four different MDP formulations, discussing their computational requirements and impacts on agent performance by means of an empirical analysis. We conclude by showing that, when used with Multi-Layer Perceptrons, image-like formulations are more helpful when shorter jobs dominate in the data set, while compact formulations are more helpful when longer jobs are used, and when transfer learning is desired as well.

**BRACIS** originated from the combination of the two most important scientific events in Brazil in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computational Intelligence (CI): the Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence – **SBIA** (22 editions), and the Brazilian Symposium on Neural Networks – **SBRN** (13 editions). **ENIAC** is a national forum for researchers, practitioners, educators and students to present and discuss innovations, trends, experiences, developments and work in progress in the fields of Artificial and Computational Intelligence. **STIL** is the bi-annual Language Technology event.
All events are supported by the Brazilian Computer Society – Special Interest Groups: **CE-IA**, **CE-IC** and **CE-PLN**.

Task-oriented dialogue systems are very important due to their wide range of applications. In particular, those tasks that involve multiple domains have gained increasing attention in recent years, as the actual tasks performed by virtual assistants often span multiple domains. In this work, we propose the Divide-and-Conquer Distributed Architecture with Slot Sharing Mechanism (DCDA-S2M) system, which includes not only a distributed system aimed at managing dialogues through the pipeline architecture, but also a slot sharing mechanism that allows the system to obtain information during a conversation in one domain and reuse it in another domain, in order to avoid redundant interactions and make the dialogue more efficient. Results show that the distributed architecture outperforms the centralized one by 21.51% and that the slot sharing mechanism improves the system performance both in the success rate and in the number of turns during the dialogue, demonstrating that it can prevent the agent from requesting redundant information.
