We study integrated prefetching and caching in single and parallel disk systems. A recent approach used linear programming to solve the problem. We show that integrated prefetching...
In the minimum path coloring problem, we are given a list of pairs of vertices of a graph. We are asked to connect each pair by a colored path. Paths of the same color must be edg...
We describe pictographic naming, a new approach to naming for pen-based computers, in which filenames are pictures rather than ASCII strings. Handwriting recognition (HWX) of a n...
We use convex relaxation techniques to produce lower bounds on the optimal value of subset selection problems and generate good approximate solutions. We then explicitly bound the...

We study a variant of the pickup-and-delivery problem (PDP) in which the objects that have to be transported can be reloaded at most d times, for a given d N. This problem is kno...
