Recently, it has been shown that CSMA algorithms which use queue length-based link weights can achieve throughput optimality in wireless networks. In particular, a key result by Ra...
Continuing research by Jennings, Mandelbaum, Massey and Whitt (1996), we investigate methods to perform time-dependent staffing for many-server queues. Our aim is to achieve time-...
