We consider a call center with two classes of impatient customers: premium and regular classes. Modeling our call center as a multiclass GI/GI/s + M queue, we focus on developing ...
Desktop Grids have emerged as an important methodology to harness the idle cycles of millions of participant desktop PCs over the Internet. However, to effectively utilize the res...
Scientists increasingly rely on the execution of workflows in grids to obtain results from complex mixtures of applications. However, the inherently dynamic nature of grid workflo...
Traditional processor scheduling mechanisms in operating systems are fairly rigid, often supportingonly one fixed scheduling policy, or, at most, a few "scheduling classes&qu...
This report describes a necessary and sufficient test for the schedulability of a set of sporadic harddeadline tasks on a multiprocessor platform, using any of a variety of schedu...
Volunteer Computing (VC) is a paradigm that takes advantage of idle cycles from computing resources donated by volunteers and connected through the Internet to compute large-scale...
