2891	 An Anomaly in Disk Scheduling A Comparison of FCFS and SSTF Seek Scheduling Using an Empirical Model for Disk Accesses	 A model for disk accesses based on published measurements is developed. The model is used to show that under highly probable conditions FCFS seek scheduling is superior to SSTF scheduling in the sense of having a lower mean queue length. A simple example of an arrival sequence illustration this anomaly is presented. disks disk scheduling seek scheduling
