We consider the problem of admission control in resource sharing systems, such as web servers and transaction processing systems, when the job size distribution has high variabili...
Abstract—Although energy-efficient real-time task scheduling has attracted a lot of attention in the past decade, most existing results assumed deterministic execution lengths f...
— Recent investigations into the pricing of multiclass loss networks have shown that static prices are optimal in the asymptotic regime of many small sources. These results sugge...
