We study the asymptotic optimal control of multi-class restless bandits. A restless bandit is a
controllable stochastic process whose state evolution depends on whether or not the bandit …

The allocation of urban land from planned to market-oriented is an important part of China's
economic market-oriented reform, but its impact on high-quality economic development still …

This paper provides an overview of the resource sharing networks introduced by Massoulié
and Roberts [20] to model the dynamic behavior of Internet flows. Striving to separate the …

We study multi-dimensional stochastic processes that arise in queueing models used in the
performance evaluation of wired and wireless networks. The evolution of the stochastic …

Motivated by scheduling in cellular wireless networks and resource allocation in computer
systems, we study a service facility with two classes of users having heterogeneous service …

We study the asymptotic optimal control of multi-class restless bandits. A restless bandit is a
controllable stochastic process whose state evolution depends on whether or not the bandit …

We consider connection-level models of resource allocation in a simple symmetric three-link
network, where files arrive into the network according to a Poisson process and the size of …

Recently, cloud computing has become a promising distributed processing paradigm to
deploy various kinds of non-trivial applications. In those applications, most of them are …

Optimal control of stochastic bandwidth-sharing networks is typically difficult. In order to
facilitate the analysis, deterministic analogues of stochastic bandwidth-sharing networks, the …

In this thesis we study queueing models that arise in the context of resource sharing in
communication networks. We determine scheduling policies that (asymptotically) optimize …
