Large number of queues in tandem: Scaling properties under back-pressure algorithm
Abstract We consider a system with N unit-service-rate queues in tandem, with exogenous arrivals of rate λ at queue 1, under a back-pressure (MaxWeight) algorithm: service at queu...

Broadcasting on large scale heterogeneous platforms under the bounded multi-port model
We consider the problem of broadcasting a large message in a large scale distributed platform. The message must be sent from a source node, with the help of the receiving peers whi...

Searching for Tight Performance Bounds in Feed-Forward Networks
Abstract. Computing tight performance bounds in feed-forward networks under general assumptions about arrival and server models has turned out to be a challenging problem. Recently...

A fluid approximation for large-scale service systems
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...

A Probabilistically Correct Leader Election Protocol for Large Groups
This paper presents a scalable leader election protocol for large process groups with a weak membership requirement. The underlying network is assumed to be unreliable but characte...
