Abstract:We introduce and investigate a new type of decision problem related to multiclass fluid networks. Optimization problems arising from fluid networks with known parameters have been studied extensively in the queueing, scheduling, and optimization literature. In this article, we explore the makespan problem in fluid networks, with the assumption that the parameters are known only through a probability distribution. Thus, the decision maker does not have complete knowledge of the parameters in advance. This probl… Show more
