One of the challenges in building analytic performance models such as queuing network models is obtaining service demands for the various workloads and various devices. While some...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
This paper investigates assignment strategies (load balancing algorithms) for process farms which solve the problem of online placement of a constant number of independent tasks w...
The demand for real-time database services has been increasing recently. Examples include sensor data fusion, stock trading, decision support, web information services, and data-i...
We consider a communication network with fixed routing that can accommodate multiple service classes, differing in bandwidth requirements, demand pattern, call duration, and routin...
