— A key advantage of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds is providing users on-demand access to resources. However, to provide on-demand access, cloud providers must either...
We study jitter control in networks with guaranteed quality of service (QoS) from the competitive analysis point of view: we propose on-line algorithms that control jitter and comp...
In this paper we present a new approach to derive heavy-traffic asymptotics for polling models. We consider the classical cyclic polling model with exhaustive or gated service at ...
Abstract-- Input-queued cell switches employing the oldestcell-first (OCF) policy have been shown to yield low mean delay characteristics. Moreover, it has been proven that OCF is ...
In this paper, we present an analytical model for the approximate calculation of the throughput and end-toend delay performance in single hop and multihop IEEE 802.11 networks unde...
