The paper considers a single-server stochastic processing network having deterministic service process with rate $\mu > 0$. The cumulative work input to the system over the time interval $[0,t]$ is given by $\lambda t + {W_H}(t)$, where $\lambda $ is a fixed constant. It is assumed that $\lambda < \mu $ and that the parameter $\mu $ can be controlled. The paper investigates three basic stochastic control problems of the workload process, namely the long-run average cost problem, the infinite horizon discounted cost problem, and the finite-horizon cost problem.}, reviewer = {Oleg K.
