Welcome to my old homepage!

I did my PhD at the Mathematics Department of the University of Amsterdam, in the field of probability theory. In particular, I studied on a queueing theory model called the Foreground-Background queue. Here is an overview of the papers I wrote, most of them on this Foreground-Background queue and related models:

Monotonicity in the limited processor sharing queue with Wemke van der Weij
Stochastic Models 25(3): 408-419 (2009)
Scheduling despite inexact job-size information with Adam Wierman
Proceedings of Sigmetrics 2008, 25-36
Preventing large sojourn times using SMART scheduling with Adam Wierman and Bert Zwart
Operations Research 56(1): 88-101 (2008)
The Foreground-Background Queue: a survey with Adam Wierman
Performance Evaluation 65: 286-307 (2008)
Bounds for avalanche critical values of the Bak-Sneppen model with Alexis Gillett and Ronald Meester
Markov Processes and Related Fields 62:679:694 (2006)
A large-deviations analysis of the GI/GI/1 SRPT queue with Bert Zwart
Queueing Systems 54(2):85-97 (2006)
The effect of service-time variability on maximum queue lengths in M^X/G/1 queues with Rhonda Righter and Ger Koole
Journal of Applied Probability 42(3): 883-891 (2005)
Sojourn times in the M/G/1 FB queue with light-tailed service times with Michel Mandjes
Probability in the Engineering and Informational sciences 19(3): 351-361 (2005)
The maximum queue length for heavy-tailed service times in the M/G/1 FB queue
Queueing Systems 47: 107-116 (2004)
The Foreground-Background Queue. PhD-thesis, Universiteit van Amsterdam, 2004.
