The vision of researchers to create smart environments through the deployment of
thousands of sensors, each with a short range wireless communications channel and …

The notion of effective bandwidths has provided a useful practical framework for connection
admission control and capacity planning in high-speed communication networks. The …

ATM switches are now being designed to allow connections to be partitioned into priority
classes, with packets being emitted for higher priority classes before packets are emitted for …

We derive an analytical expression for the cumulative distribution function of travel time for a
vehicle traversing a freeway link of arbitrary length. The vehicle's speed is assumed to be …

Large-scale datacenters (DCs) host tens of thousands of diverse applications each day.
Apart from determining where to schedule workloads, the cluster manager should also …

In this paper we consider an infinite buffer fluid model whose input is driven by independent
semi-Markov processes. The output capacity of the buffer is a constant. We derive upper and …

We consider optimal admission control of the GI/PH/1-type queueing system. The problem is
then reduced to that of determining multi-threshold strategies. Some numerical examples …

In this paper we establish upper and lower bounds on the steady-state per-class workload
distributions in a single-server queue with multiple priority classes. Motivated by …

In this paper we propose a new unified approach to address simultaneously the issues of
traffic policing (using leaky buckets), admission control and network dimensioning. First we …

Broadband integrated services packet networks rely on traffic scheduling disciplines within
the packet switches in the network to provide a wide range of Quality of Service (QoS) …
