Learning to Emulate an Expert Projective Cone Scheduler Open
Projective cone scheduling defines a large class of rate-stabilizing policies for queueing models relevant to several applications. While there exists considerable theory on the properties of projective cone schedulers, there is little pra…
An infinite dimensional model for a single server priority queue Open
We consider a Markovian single server queue in which customers are preemptively scheduled by exogenously assigned priority levels. The novelty in our model is that the priority levels are randomly assigned from a continuous probability mea…
An Infinite Dimensional Model for a Many Server Priority Queue Open
We consider a Markovian many server queueing system in which customers are preemptively scheduled according to exogenously assigned priority levels. The priority levels are randomly assigned from a continuous probability measure rather tha…
Infinite server queueing networks with deadline based routing Open
Motivated by timeouts in Internet services, we consider networks of infinite server queues in which routing decisions are based on deadlines. Specifically, at each node in the network, the total service time equals the minimum of several i…

MYOPIC POLICIES FOR NON-PREEMPTIVE SCHEDULING OF JOBS WITH DECAYING VALUE Open
In many scheduling applications, minimizing delays is of high importance. One adverse effect of such delays is that the reward for completion of a job may decay over time. Indeed in healthcare settings, delays in access to care can result …
Power Control for Packet Streaming with Head-of-Line Deadlines Open
We consider a mathematical model for streaming media packets (as the motivating key example) from a transmitter buffer to a receiver over a wireless link while controlling the transmitter power (hence, the packet/job processing rate). When…
Service Rate Control For Jobs with Decaying Value Open
The task of completing jobs with decaying value arises in a number of application areas including healthcare operations, communications engineering, and perishable inventory control. We consider a system in which a single server completes …
Predicting Pediatric Surgical Durations Open
Effective management of operating room resources relies on accurate predictions of surgical case durations. This prediction problem is known to be particularly difficult in pediatric hospitals due to the extreme variation in pediatric pati…
