We consider a model of a parallel processing system consisting of K distributed homogeneous processors each with private memory in which tasks queue before being served. Jobs arriving to the system consist of a set of tasks ...

We propose a systematic approach to quantify the impact of nonuniform traffic on the performance of non-blocking switches with output queueing. We do so in the context of a simple queueing model where cells arrive to input ...

In this paper, the problem of steering a long-run average coat functional to a prespecified value is discussed in the context of Markov decision processes wish countable statespace; this problem naturally arises in the ...

With the advent of high-speed networks, various switch architectures have been proposed to meet the increasingly stringent performance requirements being placed on the underlying switching systems. In general, the performance ...

We present some monotonicity and convexity properties for the sequence of partial sums associated with a sequence of non- negative independent identically distributed random variables. These results are applied to a system ...

We show that the initial condition of the buffer content in a G/G/1 queue satisfies a Sample Path Large Deviations Principle with convex good rate function, provided it has an exponential decay rate. This result is then ...

We draw attention to the new IEEE P1355 Standard for Heterogeneous InterConnect as a possible platform to support several onboard processing functions, including onboard communications and onboard ATM switching. The main ...

The pairwise key distribution scheme of Chan et al. was proposed as an alternative to the key distribution scheme of Eschenauer and Gligor (EG) to enable network security in wireless sensor networks. In this paper we ...
