Multilevel processor-sharing (MLPS) disciplines were originally introduced by Kleinrock (in computer applications 1976) but they were forgotten for years. However, due to an application related to the service differentiation between short and long TCP flows in the Internet, they have recently...

We consider the dispatching problem in a size- and state-aware multi-queue system with Poisson arrivals and queue-specific job sizes. By size- and state-awareness, we mean that the dispatcher knows the size of an arriving job and the remaining service times of the jobs in each queue. By...

We consider the optimal control problem of an M <Superscript> X </Superscript>/G(Q)/1 batch service queueing system with Q∞. So, we assume that customers arrive according to a compound Poisson process and are served in batches not greater than the finite service capacity Q. The control problem involves the determination...</superscript>
