Abstract. Continuous-time Markov decision process are an important variant of labelled transition systems having nondeterminism through labels and stochasticity through exponential...
While there have been several proposals of high performance global computing systems, scheduling schemes for the systems have not been well investigated. The reason is difficultie...
From a rare events perspective, scheduling disciplines that work well under light (exponential) tailed workload distributions do not perform well under heavy (power) tailed worklo...
P2P systems have witnessed phenomenal development in recent years. Evaluating and analyzing new and existing algorithms and techniques is a key issue for developers of P2P systems...

In this paper, we compare two scheduling procedures designed to minimize setup costs for a make-to-order electronics manufacturing. While setup costs are important, quick response...
