Achieving high performance in many multi-server systems (e.g., web hosting center, cloud) requires finding a good assignment of worker threads to servers and also effectively allocating each server’s resources its assigned threads. The allocation components this problem have been studied extensively but largely separately the literature. In paper, we introduce <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.o...

We consider an extended form of the MX/M/c queue with two types server groups: Static as well dynamic (which turn on/off in a state-dependent manner) servers. The groups may have homogenous or non-homogenous service rates. model is further to feature setup and delayed-off times, finite capacity, k staffing levels. This class queues solved via difference equations approach, which addresses narra...

From the standpoint of multi-agent systems, soccer (association football), which is just one of usual team sports, make a good example of problems in the real world which is moderately abstracted. We have chosen soccer as one of standard problems for the study on multi-agent systems, and we are now developing a soccer server, which provides a common test-bench to various multi-agent systems. We...
