Deterministic Network Calculus
DNC history Queueing Theory, Agner Krarup Erlang, 1909 Queueing Networks, James R. Jackson, 1957 Scheduling Theory, Liu & Layland, 1972 Network Calculus, Rene Cruz, 1991, J. Y. Le Boudec
DNC motivation Queueing Networks predict backlogs and waiting in networks of servers and buffers (production, computer networks, traffic) QN theory is probabilistic – not suited for real time analysis Scheduling theory gives worst case (non-deterministic) results for single queues under restricting assumptions Deterministic Network Calculus extends scheduling theory to a non deterministic theory for networks.
