Restless bandit marginal productivity indices II: multiproject case and scheduling a multiclass make-to-order/-stock M/G/1 queue [PDF]
This paper develops a framework based on convex optimization and economic ideas to formulate and solve approximately a rich class of dynamic and stochastic resource allocation problems, fitting in a generic discrete-state multi-project restless bandit ...

Necessary condition for null controllability in many-server heavy traffic
Throughput sub-optimality (TSO), introduced in Atar and Shaikhet [Ann. Appl. Probab. 19 (2009) 521-555] for static fluid models of parallel queueing networks, corresponds to the existence of a resource allocation, under which the total service rate ...

Performance analysis of downlink shared channels in a UMTS network [PDF]
In light of the expected growth in wireless data communications and the commonly anticipated up/downlink asymmetry, we present a performance analysis of downlink data transfer over \textsc{d}ownlink \textsc{s}hared \textsc{ch}annels (\textsc{dsch}s ...

Wait-and-see strategies in polling models [PDF]
We consider a general polling model with $N$ stations. The stations are served exhaustively and in cyclic order. Once a station queue falls empty, the server does not immediately switch to the next station.

Stabilization of an overloaded queueing network using measurement-based admission control
Admission control can be employed to avoid congestion in queueing networks subject to overload. In distributed networks the admission decisions are often based on imperfect measurements on the network state.

Invariance of fluid limits for the Shortest Remaining Processing Time and Shortest Job First policies [PDF]
We consider a single-server queue with renewal arrivals and i.i.d. service times, in which the server employs either the preemptive Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) policy, or its non-preemptive variant, Shortest Job First (SJF).
