For example, in the (single \/ many server) earliest-deadline-first model, the boundary of the support of the empirical deadline distribution corresponds to the shortest deadline among currently available jobs, and this boundary plays a main role in the dynamics. For the (parallel server) join-the-shortest-workload model, it is the shortest currently available workload. The relation between the queueing models and their formal macroscopic description is important to establish rigorously. However, this task is often very hard as the FBPs may be ill posed. The talk will describe progress achieved by (1) a recently developed approach to these FBPs via Skorohod maps, (2) tools from hydrodynamic limits for interacting particle systems governed by FBPs.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003Cstrong\u003E Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Rami Atar is with the Viterbi Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Technion, Haifa, Israel, where he holds the Lady Davis Chair is Sciences.
