In competitive analysis, we usually do not put any restrictions on the computational complexity of online algorithms, although efficient algorithms are preferred. Thus if such an...
We consider a non-preemptive, stochastic parallel machine scheduling model with the goal to minimize the weighted completion times of jobs. In contrast to the classical stochastic ...
Service matchmaking and composition has recently drawn increasing attention in the research community. Most existing algorithms construct chains of services based on exact matches...
The online squarefree recognition problem is to detect the first occurrence of a square in a string whose characters are provided as input one at a time. We present an efficient a...
In this paper we propose a utility model that accounts for both sales and branding advertisers. We first study the computational complexity of optimization problems related to bo...
