Ziv Scully (Carnegie Mellon University) SOAP: One Clean Analysis of All Age-Based Scheduling Policies We consider an extremely broad class of M/G/1 scheduling policies called SOAP: Schedule Ordered by Age-based Priority. The SOAP policies include almost all scheduling policies in the literature as well as an infinite number of variants which have never been analyzed, or maybe not even conceived. SOAP policies range from classic policies, like first-come, first-serve (FCFS), foreground-background (FB), class-based priority, and shortest remaining processing time (SRPT);…

Stefan Klootwijk (University of Twente) On Random Shortest Path Metrics Simple heuristics often show a remarkable performance in practice for optimization problems. Worst-case analysis often falls short of explaining this performance. Because of this, "beyond worst-case analysis" of algorithms has recently gained a lot of attention, including probabilistic analysis of algorithms. The instances of many optimization problems are essentially a discrete metric space. Probabilistic analysis for such metric optimization problems has nevertheless mostly been conducted on instances drawn from Euclidean…

Summary This year Eurandom is celebrating it's twentieth anniversary!! Hard to believe it is already so long ago that the new European Unit for Research and Analysis of Non-Deterministic Operational Models was established in Eindhoven, on the campus of the Eindhoven University of Technology. Many postdocs and PhD students have come to Eurandom to start and develop their careers. Friendships were formed, serious work and research were alternated with fun and social events. There has always been a very good atmosphere in the office and among…
