Part of the book series: Informatik-Fachberichte ((INFORMATIK,volume 61))

Abstract

A star configured network with n satellites, one central site and three different job classes is investigated. The optimum distribution of both the workload and the required processing power is given, using the method of dynamic programming. Further extensions, like the inclusion of optimum design of site configuration, are outlined.
