Whereas partial order methods have proved their efficiency for the analysis of discrete-event systems, their application to timed systems remains a challenging research topic. Here...
We investigate the price of anarchy of a load balancing game with K dispatchers. The service rates and holding costs are assumed to depend on the server, and the service disciplin...
The distributed constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a general formalization used to represent problems in distributed multi-agent systems. To deal with realistic problems, mu...
A well known industry application that allows controllable processing times is the manufacturing operations on CNC machines. For each turning operation as an example, there is a n...
Abstract. We consider the single machine scheduling problem to minimize the average weighted completion time under precedence constrains. Improving on the various 2-approximation a...
