In this paper we present a new approach to derive heavy-traffic asymptotics for polling models. We consider the classical cyclic polling model with exhaustive or gated service at ...
There is much experimental evidence that network traffic processes exhibit ubiquitous properties of self-similarity and long-range dependence, i.e., of correlations over a wide ran...
This paper addresses design exploration for protocols that are employed in systems with availability-consistency tradeoffs. Distributed data is modelled as states of objects repl...
The composite signal flow model of computation targets systems with significant control and data processing parts. It builds on the data flow and synchronous data flow models ...
This paper investigates the effects of demand risk on the performance of supply chain in continuous time setting. The inventory level has been modeled as a jump-diffusion process ...
