-CounterBoost: Optimizing response time tails using job type information only
Nils Charlet, Benny Van Houdt
In a recent paper the -Boost scheduling policy was shown to minimize the tail of the response time distribution in a light-tailed M/G/1-queue. This policy schedules jobs using…

Tail Optimality and Performance Analysis of the Nudge*(M) Scheduling Algorithm
Nils Charlet, Benny Van Houdt
Recently it was shown that the response time of First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) scheduling can be stochastically and asymptotically improved upon by the {\it Nudge} scheduling algor…

Colored Markov Modulated Fluid Queues
Benny Van Houdt
Markov-modulated fluid queues (MMFQs) are a powerful modeling framework for analyzing the performance of computer and communication systems. Their distinguishing feature is that th…
