Architecture and robustness tradeoffs in speed-scaled queues with application to energy management

This paper considers single-server queues with several customer classes. Arrivals of customers are governed by the underlying continuous-time Markov chain with finite states. The distribution of the amount of work brought into the system on arrival is ...

Energy Packet Network (EPN) consists of a queueing network formed by N blocks, where each of them is formed by one data queue, that handles the workload, and one energy queue, that handles packets of energy.

We study an EPN ...

In this paper, we propose a new priority discipline, called the (N,n)-preemptive priority discipline. Under this discipline, the preemption of the service of a low-class customer is determined by two thresholds N and n of the queue length of high-class ...
