Sidney Resnick is a Cornell University Professor in the School of Operations Research and Industrial Engineering and Gennady Samorodnitsky is Associate Professor in the same department. Both are interested in the modeling and statistics of systems governed by heavy tails and in the problems of detecting and quantifying the effect of long range dependence.
Fransois Sainfort is Associate Professor of Industrial En- gineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is also conducting research at the Center for Health Systems Research and Analysis and the Center for Quality and Productivity Improvement. His current research is in the area of decision making under risk and uncertainty and especially multiattribute value and utility modeling with applications in health care and quality measurement and assessment. Jean Deichtmann is currently with the Reuter Agency in Paris, France. Before joining Reuter, he was a consultant at Andersen Consulting. Their collaboration began while Jean Deichtmann was a Master's student working on his thesis under Franqois Sainfort's supervision.

Ali Sharifnia carried out this research while he was Asso- ciate Professor of Manufacturing Engineering at Boston University. The work was done as part of his research on distributed control of manufacturing systems. The ap- proach for stabilizing policies reported here is the basis of his subsequent work on distributed control of general manufacturing systems. The latter provides a much more in-depth analysis of the stability and performance issues for distributed control of manufacturing and similar discrete-event dynamic systems.
