We study large-scale service systems with multiple customer classes and many statistically identical servers. The following question is addressed: How many servers are required (s...
A crashing network protocol is an asynchronous protocol whose memory does not survive crashes. We show that a crashing network protocol that works over unreliable links can be driv...
