Abstract
A recurring theme in the design of control schemes for computer communication networks has been to identify the drift of critical quantities such as queue lengths, and then devise control strategies that close the loop. A useful tool for the performance analysis of such strategies are bounds on deviations from the expected trajectory. This talk identifies an incomplete list of such tools that have been used in a broad class of applications, for both stochastic and deterministically constrained models of load.

Robust Stability and $$H_{\infty }$$Hź Control of Discrete-Time Uncertain Impulsive Systems with Time-Varying Delay
This paper considers the robust stability and $$H_{\infty }$$Hź control problems for a class of discrete-time uncertain impulsive systems with time-varying delay. Sufficient conditions for the robust stability, stabilization and $$H_\infty $$Hź control ...
Simplified Drift Analysis for Proving Lower Bounds in Evolutionary Computation
Special Issue: Theory of Evolutionary ComputationDrift analysis is a powerful tool used to bound the optimization time of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Various previous works apply a drift theorem going back to Hajek in order to show exponential lower bounds on the optimization time of EAs. However, ...
