Abstract Information flow in a telecommunication network is accomplished through the
interaction of mechanisms at various design layers with the end goal of supporting the …

In this paper, a comprehensive survey is given on several major systematic approaches in
dealing with delay-aware control problems, namely the equivalentrate constraint approach …

Stochastic processing networks arise as models in manufacturing, telecommunications,
transportation, computer systems, the customer service industry, and biochemical reaction …

We develop a theory for the design of process flexibility in a multiperiod make-to-order
production system. We propose and formalize a notion of “effective chaining” termed the …

We consider a queueing network in which there are constraints on which queues may be
served simultaneously; such networks may be used to model input-queued switches and …

Most high performance routers today use combined input and output queueing (CIOQ). The
CIOQ router is also frequently used as an abstract model for routers: at one extreme is input …

The input-queued switch architecture is widely used in Internet routers, due to its ability to
run at very high line speeds. A central problem in designing an input-queued switch is …

We consider a class of wireless networks with general interference constraints on the set of
links that can be served simultaneously at any given time. We restrict the traffic to be single …

We analyze the delay performance of a multi-hop wireless network with a fixed route
between each source-destination pair. There are arbitrary interference constraints on the set …

With the rapid advance of information technology, network systems have become
increasingly complex and hence the underlying system dynamics are often unknown or …
