This definition requires applications to adapt to their perceived service. However\, many emerging applications\, such as multimedia and safety-critical applications\, have strict service requirements. In order to accommodate these applications\, we redefine competitive ratio by asking: “How much resource does a policy need to provide a fixed degree of service.” By studying two different applications\, we demonstrate that answering the second question reveals some surprising results.\n\n\nBiography:\nI-Hong Hou is an assistant professor in the ECE Department of the Texas A&\;M University.
