Proliferation of digital libraries plus availability of electronic documents from the Internet have created new challenges for computer science researchers and professionals. Docum...
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) is currently one of the major research topics in Grid Computing. Among many system components for the supporting of SLA-aware Gridbased workflow, t...
Clustering algorithms such as k-means, the self-organizing map (SOM), or Neural Gas (NG) constitute popular tools for automated information analysis. Since data sets are becoming l...
Abstract. A well studied and difficult class of scheduling problems concerns parallel machines and precedence constraints. In order to model more realistic situations, we consider ...
We consider the problem of scheduling a set of n jobs on m identical parallel machines so as to minimize the weighted sum of job completion times. This problem is NP-hard in the s...
