    Abstract

    The problem of scheduling a continuous stream of requests of varying sizes is studied. Two scheduling metrics, max-stretch and max-flow that gauge the responsiveness of the scheduler to each job is proposed. These metrics are optimized under varying circumstances, offline/online and preemptive/nonpreemptive. The overall fairness of various metrics and scheduling strategies are observed.
