Within the wide range of issues related to 4G wireless networks, due to the scope of the
ISSTA conference, in this presentation we highlight some segments of wireless networks …

Datacenter operations today provide a plethora of new queueing and scheduling problems.
The notion of a “job” has become more general and multi-dimensional. The ways in which …

This paper describes a simple and robust ATM call admission control, and develops the
theoretical background for its analysis. Acceptance decisions are based on whether the …

Cloud computing today is dominated by multi-server jobs. These are jobs that request
multiple servers simultaneously and hold onto all of these servers for the duration of the job …

A great deal of queueing theory is devoted to studying multiserver models, such as the
M/G/n. A key feature of such models is that each job runs on a single server. Unfortunately …

Any QoS scheme must be designed from the perspective of pricing policies and service level
agreements (SLAs). Although there has been enormous amount of research in designing …

Multiserver jobs, which are jobs that occupy multiple servers simultaneously during service,
are prevalent in today's computing clusters. But little is known about the delay performance …

We consider virtual partitioning (VP), which is a scheme for sharing a resource among
several traffic classes in an efficient, fair, and robust manner. In the preliminary design stage …

We study the problem of dynamically allocating reusable resources to customers of n types.
There are d pools of resources and a finite number of units from each resource. If a customer …

Overloads that occur during times of network stress result in blocked access to all users,
independent of importance. These overloads can occur because of degraded resource …
