An approximate analysis of load balancing using stale state information for servers in parallel

That a load balancing strategy using stale information care lessly will incur system performance degradation is easy to verify. However it is not so obvious that routing a customer to the expected shortest queue has the same problem when information for decision is stale. We consider a queueing system with a load balancer and a pool of identical FCFS queues in parallel. The arrival process is assu

Prospects of caching in a distributed digital library

Many independent publishers are today offering digital libraries with fulltext archives. In an attempt to provide a single user-interface to a large set of archives, DTVs Article Database Service, offers a consolidatedinterface to a geographically distributed set of archives. While this approach offers a tremendous functional advantage to a user, the delays caused by the network and queuing delays

On the Capacity of the Free Space Antenna Channel

This paper investigates the fundamental free-space antenna translation channel as an important step in understanding and developing the spherical waves as a generic tool for MIMO channel modeling. The model is demonstrated by quantifying the theoretical MIMO capacity associated with antennas exciting high order modes in the Fresnel and Fraunhofer regions.

Adaptive Logistics - Using Complexity Theory to Facilitate Increased Effectiveness in Logistics

Logistics is gaining increased attention in companies since interconnectivity is increasing, and the interdependence among actors is enhanced due to challenges organizations are facing today (market changes, novel strategies, and technological improvements). While the logistics discipline has been characterized by an efficiency focus based on positivistic assumptions, the challenges of today requi
