The Shape of the Loss Curve and the Impact of Long-Range Dependence on Network Performance
Mandjes, Michel; Boots, Nam Kyoo - 2001
Empirical studies showed that many types of network traffic exhibit long-range dependence (LRD),i.e., burstiness on a wide variety of time-scales. Given that traffic streams are indeed endowed withLRD properties, a next question is: what is their impact on network performance? To assess...

Fast Simulation of a Queue fed by a Superposition of Many (Heavy-Tailed) Sources
Boots, Nam Kyoo; Mandjes, Michel - 2001
We consider a queue fed by a large number, say n, of on-off sources with generally distributed on-and off-times. The queueing resources are scaled by n: the buffer is B=nb and link rate is C=nc.The model is versatile: it allows us to model both long range dependent traffic (by using heavy-tailed...

A general framework for scheduling equipment and manpower on container terminals
Hartmann, Sönke - 2002
In this paper, we propose a general model for various scheduling problems that occur in container terminal logistics …. The scheduling model consists of the assignment of jobs to resources and the temporal arrangement of the jobs subject to … real-world problems from container terminals in the port of Hamburg (Germany). We consider scheduling problems for straddle …

On the Optimal Policy for Deterministic and Exponential Polling Systems
Gaujal, Bruno; Hordijk, Arie; van der Laan, Dinard - 2005
In this paper, we consider deterministic (both fluid and discrete) polling systems with N queues with infinite buffers and we show how to compute the best polling sequence (minimizing the average total workload). With two queues, the best polling sequence is always periodic when the system is...

Hotspots of land use change in Europe
Kuemmerle, Tobias; Levers, Christian; Erb, Karlheinz; … - In: Environmental Research Letters 11 (2016) 6, pp. 1-14
Assessing changes in the extent and management intensity of land use is crucial to understanding land-system dynamics and their environmental and social outcomes. Yet, changes in the spatial patterns of land management intensity, and thus how they might relate to changes in the extent of land...
