Models for sequential decision making under uncertainty (e.g., Markov decision processes,or MDPs) have beenstudied in operations research for decades. The recent incorporation of ...
1 We consider the problem of scheduling an unknown sequence of tasks for a single server as the tasks arrive with the goal off maximizing the total weighted value of the tasks serv...
We consider packet scheduling in a network providing differentiated services, where each packet is assigned a value. We study various queueing models for supporting QoS (Quality ...
This paper describes how the handling of visual media objects is implemented in the visual information retrieval project VizIR. Essentially, four areas are concerned: media access...
This paper aims to and illustrate that simulation and queuing theory can and should go hand in hand for a variety of practical problems, both in daily-life and industry, which are...
