Quality of Service (QoS) in terms of end-to-end delay guarantees to real-time applications is an important issue in emerging broadband packet networks. Earliest Deadline First (ED...
In a multi-level cache such as those used for web caching, a hit at level l leads to the caching of the requested object in all intermediate caches on the reverse path (levels l -...
In this paper, the manufacturing blocking system (MBS) is studied from the Network Calculus (NetCal) perspective. By dominating an MBS by a window flow controller (WFC), we obtain...
We consider a time-slotted queueing model where each time slot can either be an arrival slot, in which new packets arrive, or a departure slot, in which packets are transmitted an...

We ask the question, "for minimizing mean response time (sojourn time), which is preferable: one fast server of speed 1, or k slow servers each of speed 1/k?" Our settin...

We consider multi-class blocking systems in which jobs require a single processing step. There are groups of servers that can each serve a different subset of all job classes. The...
In this paper, we consider a discrete-time finite-buffer queue with correlated arrivals and service interruptions and the corresponding infinite-buffer queue. Under some assumptio...
In recent years, fast spreading worms, such as Code Red, Slammer, Blaster and Sasser, have become one of the major threats to the security of the Internet. In order to defend agai...

In this paper, we investigate a simplified head-of-the-line with priority jumps (HOL-PJ) scheduling discipline. Therefore, we consider a discrete-time single-server queueing syste...
