We study infinite-horizon asymptotic average optimality for parallel server network with multiple classes of jobs and multiple server pools in the Halfin-Whitt regime. Three control formulations are considered: 1) minimizing the queueing…
Modern computing workloads are often composed of parallelizable jobs. A parallelizable job can be completed more quickly when run on additional servers. However, each job can only use a limited number of servers, known as its…

This paper presents novel solutions of the data-based synchronization problem for continuous-time multiagent systems. We consider the cases of homogeneous and heterogeneous systems. First, we obtain a data-based representation of 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…
We study a stochastic network that consists of a set of servers processing multiple classes of jobs. Each class of jobs requires a concurrent occupancy of several servers while being processed, and each server is shared among the job…

In decentralized stochastic control (or stochastic team theory) and game theory, if there is a pre-defined order in a system in which agents act, the system is called \textit{sequential}, otherwise it is non-sequential. Much of the…
