Unfair metrical task systems are a generalization of online metrical task systems. In this paper we introduce new techniques to combine algorithms for unfair metrical task systems...
We give a randomized algorithm (the ”Wedge Algorithm”) of competitiveness 3 2 Hk − 1 2k for any metrical task system on a uniform space of k points, for any k ≥ 2, where H...
We relate two problems that have been explored in two distinct communities. The first is the problem of combining expert advice, studied extensively in the computational learning...
Recent technological advances have opened up several distributed real-time applications involving battery-driven embedded devices with local processing and wireless communication ...
This paper introduces improvements in partitioning schemes for multiprocessor real-time systems which allow higher processor utilization and enhanced schedulability by using exact...
