In this paper, we consider an M/M/k queueing system with setup costs. Servers are turned off when there is no work to do, but turning on an off server incurs a setup cost. The s...
We introduce and analyze a deterministic fluid model that serves as an approximation for the Gt/GI/st + GI manyserver queueing model, which has a general time-varying arrival pro...
Graph theory provides a powerful set of metrics and conceptual ideas to model and investigate the behavior of communication networks. Most graph-theoretical frameworks in the netw...
We establish heavy-traffic limits for nearly deterministic queues, such as the G/D/n many-server queue. Since waiting times before starting service in the G/D/n queue are equivale...
Data center availability is critical considering the explosive growth in Internet services and people’s dependence on them. Furthermore, in recent years, sustainability has beco...

Many network-management problems in large backbone networks need the answer to a seemingly simple question: where does a given IP packet, entering the network at a particular plac...

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is a wellknown technique for gaining energy savings on desktop and laptop computers. However, its use in server settings requires care...

Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important driver for which decision makers – consumers, corporate and government – rely on principled, accurate and provenanced metr...
