Minimizing total busy time in parallel scheduling with application to optical networks
—We consider a scheduling problem in which a bounded number of jobs can be processed simultaneously by a single machine. The input is a set of n jobs J = {J1, . . . , Jn}. Each j...

"Rent-or-Buy" Scheduling and Cost Coloring Problems
We study several cost coloring problems, where we are given a graph and a cost function on the independent sets and are to find a coloring that minimizes the function costs of the...

Minimizing Stall Time in Single and Parallel Disk Systems
We study integrated prefetching and caching problems following the work of Cao et. al. [3] and Kimbrel and Karlin [13]. Cao et. al. and Kimbrel and Karlin gave approximation algor...

End-to-end packet-scheduling in wireless ad-hoc networks
Abstract Packet-scheduling is a particular challenge in wireless networks due to interference from nearby transmissions. A distance-2 interference model serves as a useful abstract...

Improved Bounds for Flow Shop Scheduling
We resolve an open question raised by Feige & Scheideler by showing that the best known approximation algorithm for flow shops is essentially tight with respect to the used low...
