PAPER: influence of deterministic customers in time sharing scheduler

This paper presents an approach to study the influence of deterministic customers in queueing system. This is used to make real time decision to manage resources. This method is applied to the scheduler of multiprocessor machines with round robin model. The transient probabilities which take care of the deterministic events are given. They are used to express a relation for the variation of the expectation of the number of processes. This relation is simplified with a general method called fluid approximation and used to predict the execution time of the deterministic events.
