The management of networks has often been ignored in network-based computing systems due to the difficulty of estimating application programs' network latency and bandwidth r...
Abstract. Autonomic computing networks manage multiple tasks over a distributed network of resources. In this paper, we view an autonomic computing system as a network of queues, w...
We are interested in this paper to study scheduling problems in systems where many users compete to perform their respective jobs on shared parallel resources. Each user has speci...
In this paper, we start from an assigned control law with known probability distributions of its execution time. Our goal is to identify an optimised scheduling policy that allows ...
