Abstract :
This paper examines duality and transformations relating routing and scheduling systems. The authors examine the finite buffer duality results of Sparaggis et. al. (1993) and generalize the framework to controlled Markov chains, deterministic and continuous flow systems, and to multiple server/multiple layer systems. As well, the authors describe various transformations relating routing and scheduling systems with a focus on threshold decision policies
