We introduce the problem of load-distance balancing in assigning users of a delay-sensitive networked application to servers. We model the service delay experienced by a user as a ...
Spectral expansion and matrix analytic methods are important solution mechanisms for matrix polynomial equations. These equations are encountered in the steady-state analysis of M...
