Relaxation Phenomena in Supercomputer Jobs (2002)
Clearwater, Scott H., Kleban, Stephen D.
We show that the distribution of supercomputer job submission interarrival times can be understood as a relaxation process. The process of deciding when to submit a job involves a complicated set of...
Cooperative Problem Solving (1992)
Scott Clearwater Tad, Scott H. Clearwater, Tad Hogg, Bernardo A. Huberman
We present a quantitative assessment of the value of cooperation for solving constraint satisfaction problems through a series of experiments, as well as a general theory of cooperative problem...

This point is in relation with the study of Springer (1991)
Stephen D. Kleban, Scott H. Clearwater
We report on a model of the distribution of job submission interarrival times in supercomputers. Interarrival times are modeled as a consequence of a complicated set of decisions between users, the...
Swing Options: A Mechanism for Pricing Peak IT Demand
Bernardo A. Huberman, Scott H. Clearwater
As information technology (IT) and services become more prevalent within the enterprise, the burden of greater expertise on computer technology falls on companies whose primary mission may not be...
