Video delivery from a server to a client across a network is an important component of many multimedia applications. While delivering a video stream across a resource constrained ...
We study the stochastic machine replenishment problem, which is a canonical special case of closed multiclass queuing systems in Markov decision theory. The problem models the sche...
Workload adaptation is a performance management process in which an autonomic database management system (DBMS) efficiently makes use of its resources by filtering or controlling ...

We consider server scheduling strategies to minimize average flow time in a multicast pull system where data items have uniform size. The algorithm Longest Wait First (LWF) always...
— A recent trend for data-intensive computations is to use pay-as-you-go execution environments that scale transparently to the user. However, providers of such environments must...
