Load balancing and scheduling in large-scale computer systems. University of Antwerp
Since the introduction of the very first communication networks, queueing models have played a key role in improving network performance. This has resulted in a large body of queueing theory literature that has found widespread use in many other areas of science and technology. As the area of computer systems and networks is ever evolving, so is the need for new, tailored queueing models. Large-scale systems (e.g., grid computing or cloud ...
