In light of continued advances in loop scheduling, this work revisits the OpenMP loop scheduling by outlining the current state of the art in loop scheduling and presenting evidence that the existing OpenMP schedules are insufficient for…

In High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures, the control of resources by batch systems can lead to prolonged queue waiting times and adverse effects on the overall execution times of applications, particularly in data-intensive and…

A data-driven computational heuristic is proposed to control MIMO systems without prior knowledge of their dynamics. The heuristic is illustrated on a two-input two-output balance system. It integrates a self-adjusting nonlinear threshold…

Optimizing the cellular network's cell locations is one of the most fundamental problems of network design. The general objective is to provide the desired Quality-of-Service (QoS) with the minimum system cost. In order to meet a growing…

Mobility management in cellular networks faces increasing complexity due to network densification and heterogeneous user mobility characteristics. Traditional handover (HO) mechanisms, which rely on predefined parameters such as A3-offset…

We address the stochastic transmission expansion planning (STEP) problem under uncertainty in renewable generation capacity and demand. STEP's objective is to minimize total transmission investment and generation costs. To tackle the…

Motivated by the increasing importance of providing delay-guaranteed services in general computing and communication systems, and the recent wide adoption of learning and prediction in network control, in this work, we consider a general…

Scheduling packets with end-to-end deadline constraints in multihop networks is an important problem that has been notoriously difficult to tackle. Recently, there has been progress on this problem in the worst-case traffic setting, with…

To meet the increasing demand for wireless capacity, future networks are likely to consist of dense layouts of small cells. The number of users in each cell is thus reduced which results in diminished gains from opportunistic scheduling,…

Caching and multicasting at base stations are two promising approaches to support massive content delivery over wireless networks. However, existing scheduling designs do not make full use of the advantages of the two approaches. In this…

Some Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication links particularly those in a industrial automation plant have stringent latency requirements. In this paper, we study the delay-performance for the M2M uplink from the sensors to a Programmable…

Minimizing the peak power consumption and matching demand to supply, under fixed threshold polices, are two key requirements for the success of the future electricity market. In this work, we consider dynamic pricing methods to minimize the…

Schedulability bounds not only serve as efficient tests to decide schedulability of real-time task systems but also reveal insights about the worst-case performance of scheduling algorithms. Different from sequential real-time task systems…

In many service systems, especially those in healthcare, customer waiting times can result in increased service requirements. Such service slowdowns can significantly impact system performance. Therefore, it is important to properly account…

Advance reservation is important to guarantee the quality of services of jobs by allowing exclusive access to resources over a defined time interval on resources. It is a challenge for the scheduler to organize available resources…

Next-generation cellular networks will play a key role in the evolution of different vertical industries. Low latency will be a major requirement in many related uses cases. This requirement is specially challenging in scenarios with high…

We consider the problem of scheduling in constrained queueing networks with a view to minimizing packet delay. Modern communication systems are becoming increasingly complex, and are required to handle multiple types of traffic with widely…

Modern business models have enabled service systems to leverage a large pool of casual employees with flexible hours, paid based on piece rates, to fulfill on-demand work. These systems have been successfully implemented in sectors such as…

We investigate the downlink scheduling problem under Markovian ON/OFF fading channels, where the instantaneous channel state information is not directly accessible, but is revealed via ARQ-type feedback. The scheduler can exploit the…

Computational Grids and peer-to-peer (P2P) networks enable the sharing, selection, and aggregation of geographically distributed resources for solving large-scale problems in science, engineering, and commerce. The management and…
