Two common approaches for estimating a linear trend are 1) simple linear regression and 2) the epoch difference with possibly unequal epoch lengths. The epoch difference estimator for epochs of length M is defined as the difference between the average value over the last M time steps and the average value over the first M time steps divided by N 2 M, where N is the length of the time series. Bo...

In this work we study a special type of task scheduling referred to as epoch scheduling in a distributed server (processor) system. With this policy, processor queues are rearranged only at the end of predefined intervals. The time interval between successive queue rearrangements is called an epoch. The objective is to examine if epoch scheduling can perform close to STF method and achieve fair...
