constraint abstractions into integer programming, and to discuss possible combinations of the two approaches. Combinatorial problems are ubiquitous in many real world applications ...
We consider the problem of broadcasting a large message in a large scale distributed platform. The message must be sent from a source node, with the help of the receiving peers whi...
We study the convergence of Markov Decision Processes made of a large number of objects to optimization problems on ordinary differential equations (ODE). We show that the optimal...
Abstract—IEEE 802.16e WiMAX is a promising new technology for broadband access networks. Amongst the class of applications that can be supported is real time video services (such...
We study the problem of scheduling permanent jobs on unrelated machines when the objective is to minimize the Lp norm of the machine loads. The problem is known as load balancing ...
