In addition to providing small mean response times, modern applications seek to provide users predictable service and, in some cases, Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. In order...
This paper addresses the problem of how to service web requests quickly in order to minimize the client response time. Some of the recent work uses the idea of the Shortest Remain...
As computing systems of all types grow in power and complexity, it is common to want to simultaneously execute processes with different timeliness constraints. Many systems use CP...
Energy usage has been an important concern in recent research on online job scheduling, where processors are allowed to vary the speed dynamically so as to save energy whenever pos...
