Edge-clouds provide a promising new approach to significantly reduce network operational costs by moving computation closer to the edge. A key challenge in such systems is to dec...
Two GI/M/1 type Markov chains associated with the queue length are often used in analyzing the discrete time MAP/PH/K queue. The first Markov chain is introduced by tracking servic...
Data centers have emerged as promising resources for demand response, particularly for emergency demand response (EDR), which saves the power grid from incurring blackouts during ...

In this paper we analyze the dynamics of a P2P file exchange swarm from a queueing standpoint. In such systems, the service rate a peer receives depends on one mostly fixed comp...
This paper studies a discrete-time queueing system where each customer has a maximum allowed sojourn time in the system, referred to as the “deadline” of the customer. More sp...
