A Comparative Study of Vacation Models Under Various Vacation Policies
No full textThis chapter looks at the classical vacation models under various vacation policies both in single and multi-server systems. It discusses a few comparisons involving the (pure) vacation models under some common vacation policies using a simulation approach, due to a lack of adequate systematic study of comparing and contrasting classical vacation models under any setup. In the classical vacation models, the servers maybe used to provide services to systems other than the one from where they are going on vacations. The validation of the simulated models is very important so as to use the simulated results for more complicated models. However, the error percentages for the fraction of time the server is on vacation is very low for all scenarios. The chapter shows how various vacation policies under one vacation model behave by looking at the fraction of time spent vacationing

Development of an Online Course in Research for Undergraduate Students
Get PDFThis Work in Progress paper will cover the development of an online course in research practices for undergraduate students. Active participation in research is an important part of experiential learning, which can help to prepare students for careers in a variety of settings including industrial R&D departments, academia, and government research labs. Undergraduate students’ research experiences may be limited in their value, however, by the learning curve students face as they begin to conduct research. The quality of their training may also be limited, with some receiving excellent training and orientation from a strong research lab or faculty mentor, and others receiving little guidance. In order to better prepare undergraduate students for research, faculty members in different departments at a midwestern STEM-focused University received an internal grant to develop a class in research for undergraduates. This class, which is designed to be offered online either for cohorts or for individual students as an independent study, contains information and resources on a diverse range of issues such as motivation for research, research ethics, planning a research project, conducting literature searches, experimental procedures, keeping lab documentation for various types of projects, data analysis, technical writing, intellectual property, and issues relevant to scoping out one’s own research project.
This paper will give the background for the course development, evaluation of the required content and decisions on structure and format, and describe the various modules in the course. It will also describe the future plans for deployment, evaluation, and continuous improvement of the course, and suggest ways in which it could benefit a wide range of undergraduate students in different disciplines
