Faculty Candidate Seminar

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

TITLE: New Approximations and Algorithms for Stabilizing Time Varying Queues

SPEAKER: Jamol Pender ABSTRACT: 

We develop two new algorithms for stabilizing time varying queues delay probabilities by expanding the queue length in terms of Hermite polynomials.  The first algorithm uses the mean and variance of the queue length.  The second algorithm uses the mean, variance, and skewness of the queue length.  We show that the skewness helps in stabilizing the queue length at positive target values, especially when the queue is critically loaded.  We illustrate through several simulation studies the added benefit of using higher moments of the queue length distribution.
