Learning to Emulate an Expert Projective Cone Scheduler
Neal Master
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 pr…
An Infinite Dimensional Model for a Many Server Priority Queue
Neal Master, Zhengyuan Zhou, Nicholas Bambos
We consider a Markovian many server queueing system in which customers are preemptively scheduled according to exogenously assigned priority levels. The priority levels are randoml…
Power Control for Packet Streaming with Head-of-Line Deadlines
Neal Master, Nicholas Bambos
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 tran…
An Infinite Dimensional Model for A Single Server Priority Queue
Neal Master, Zhengyuan Zhou, Nicholas Bambos
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 lev…
Service Rate Control For Jobs with Decaying Value
Neal Master, Nicholas Bambos
The task of completing jobs with decaying value arises in a number of application areas including healthcare operations, communications engineering, and perishable inventory contro…
Infinite Server Queueing Networks with Deadline Based Routing
Neal Master, Nicholas Bambos
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 netw…
Myopic Policies for Non-Preemptive Scheduling of Jobs with Decaying Value
Neal Master, Carri W. Chan, Nicholas Bambos
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 i…
Predicting Pediatric Surgical Durations
Neal Master, David Scheinker, Nicholas Bambos
Effective management of operating room resources relies on accurate predictions of surgical case durations. This prediction problem is known to be particularly difficult in pediatr…
Quantitative Methods for Comparing Different HVAC Control Schemes
Anil Aswani, Neal Master, Jay Taneja +3
Experimentally comparing the energy usage and comfort characteristics of different controllers in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems is difficult because var…
Energy-Efficient Building HVAC Control Using Hybrid System LBMPC
Anil Aswani, Neal Master, Jay Taneja +3
Improving the energy-efficiency of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems has the potential to realize large economic and societal benefits. This paper concerns…
