Consider the problem of a multiple access channel in a time dependent environment with a large number of users. In such a system, mostly due to practical constraints (e.g., decoding complexity), not all users can be scheduled together, and…
We consider the evolution of large but finite populations on arbitrary fitness landscapes. We describe the evolutionary process by a Markov, Moran process. We show that to $\mathcal O(1/N)$, the time-averaged fitness is lower for the finite…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of spectrum access decision-making for the Secondary Users (SUs) in the cognitive radio networks. When the Primary Users (PUs) are absent on certain frequency bandwidth, SUs can formulate a queue…
We present an algorithm which explores permutation symmetries to describe the time evolution of agent-based epidemic models. The main idea to improve computation times relies on restricting the stochastic process to one sector of the vector…
In order to obtain Markov heavy-traffic approximations for infinite-server queues with general non-exponential service-time distributions and general arrival processes, possibly with time-varying arrival rates, we establish heavy-traffic…
In this paper we consider an M/G/1-type queue fed by a finite customer-pool. In terms of transforms, we characterize the time-dependent distribution of the number of customers and the workload, as well as the associated waiting times.
This work considers a many-server queueing system in which customers with i.i.d., generally distributed service times enter service in the order of arrival. The dynamics of the system is represented in terms of a process that describes the…
In this thesis, we study the queueing systems with heterogeneous servers and service rate uncertainty under the Halfin-Whitt heavy traffic regime. First, we analyse many server queues with abandonments when service rates are i.i.d. random…
Let $Q_{\lambda}(t,y) $ be the number of people present at time $t$ with $y$ units of remaining service time in an infinite server system with arrival rate equal to $\lambda>0$. In the presence of a non-lattice renewal arrival process and…
Most work on wireless network resource allocation use physical layer performance such as sum rate and outage probability as the figure of merit. These metrics may not reflect the true user QoS in future heterogenous networks (HetNets) with…
This paper purpose is to investigate exponential behavior conditions for the infinite servers queue with Poisson arrivals busy period length distribution. It is presented a general theoretical result that is the basis of this work. The…
Population protocols are a distributed computing model appropriate for describing massive numbers of agents with limited computational power. A population protocol "has an initial leader" if every valid initial configuration contains a…
We consider a Markovian single server queue with impatient customers. There is a customer abandonment cost and a holding cost for customers in the system. We consider two versions of the problem. In the first version, customers pay a reward…
We use the well-known isomorphism between operator algebras and function spaces equipped with a star product to study the asymptotic properties of certain matrix sequences in which the matrix dimension $D$ tends to infinity. Our approach is…
We consider maximizing the long-term average reward in a single server queue, where the reward obtained for a job is a non-increasing function of its sojourn time. The motivation behind this work comes from multiple applications, including…
Motivated by the operational problems in click and collect systems, such as curbside pickup programs, we study a joint admission control and capacity allocation problem. We consider a system where arriving customers have preferred service…
Systems of deterministic finite automata communicating by sending their states upon request are investigated, when the amount of communication is restricted. The computational power and decidability properties are studied for the case of…
This paper considers a GI/GI/1 processor sharing queue in which jobs have soft deadlines. At each point in time, the collection of residual service times and deadlines is modeled using a random counting measure on the right half-plane. The…
In this work, we study the impact of a relay node to a network with a finite number of users-sources and a destination node. We assume that the users have saturated queues and the relay node does not have packets of its own; we have random…
We consider the model of population protocols introduced by Angluin et al., in which anonymous finite-state agents stably compute a predicate of the multiset of their inputs via two-way interactions in the all-pairs family of communication…
