On Optimal Control for Energy-Aware Queueing Systems

Over the past few years, energy provisioning in server farms and data-centres has become an active area of research. As such, many models have been proposed where an individual server has setup times and can switch between two different energy states (on and off), To make such models tractable, assumptions are usually made on the type of policies the system can implement. However, it is often not known if such assumptions allow for the model to …
