Distributed Server Allocation for Content Delivery Networks
Sarath Pattathil, Vivek S. Borkar, Gaurav S. Kasbekar
We propose a dynamic formulation of file-sharing networks in terms of an average cost Markov decision process with constraints. By analyzing a Whittle-like relaxation thereof, we p…
Vector Field Guidance for Convoy Monitoring Using Elliptical Orbits
Aseem V. Borkar, Vivek S. Borkar, Arpita Sinha
We propose a novel vector field based guidance scheme for tracking and surveillance of a convoy, moving along a possibly nonlinear trajectory on the ground, by an aerial agent. The…
Distributed Stochastic Approximation with Local Projections
Suhail M. Shah, Vivek S. Borkar
We propose a distributed version of a stochastic approximation scheme constrained to remain in the intersection of a finite family of convex sets. The projection to the intersectio…
Whittle Indexability in Egalitarian Processor Sharing Systems
Vivek S. Borkar, Sarath Pattathil
The egalitarian processor sharing model is viewed as a restless bandit and its Whittle indexability is established. A numerical scheme for computing the Whittle indices is provided…
Opportunistic Scheduling as Restless Bandits
Vivek S. Borkar, Gaurav S. Kasbekar, Sarath Pattathil +1
In this paper we consider energy efficient scheduling in a multiuser setting where each user has a finite sized queue and there is a cost associated with holding packets (jobs) in…
