We consider packet scheduling in a network providing differentiated services, where each packet is assigned a value. We study various queueing models for supporting QoS (Quality ...
This paper provides a technique, based on partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), for building automatic recovery controllers to guide distributed system recovery...
