Scheduling of service requests in Cloud computing has traditionally focused on the reduction of pre-service wait, generally termed as waiting time. Under certain conditions such as peak load, however, it is not always possible to give…
Performing efficient resource provisioning is a fundamental aspect for any resource provider. Local Resource Management Systems (LRMS) have been used in data centers for decades in order to obtain the best usage of the resources, providing…
Emerging real-time applications such as those classified under ultra-reliable low latency (uRLLC) generate bursty traffic and have strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Passive Optical Network (PON) is a popular access network…
Cloud-based computing systems can get oversubscribed due to the budget constraints of their users or limitations in certain resource types. The oversubscription can, in turn, degrade the users perceived Quality of Service (QoS). The…
We consider a computation offloading system where jobs are processed sequentially at a local server followed by a higher-capacity cloud server. The system offers two service modes, differing in how the processing is split between the…
We study the scheduling polices for asymptotically optimal delay in queueing systems with switching overhead. Such systems consist of a single server that serves multiple queues, and some capacity is lost whenever the server switches to…
Resource sharing between multiple workloads has become a prominent practice among cloud service providers, motivated by demand for improved resource utilization and reduced cost of ownership. Effective resource sharing, however, remains an…
