Our work is motivated by the problem of managing data on storage devices, typically a set of disks. Such high demand storage servers are used as web servers, or multimedia servers...
We study the general packing problem with M constraints. In [Jansen and Zhang, TCS 2002] a c(1 + ε)-approximation algorithm for the general packing problem was proposed. A block s...
Job-shop scheduling is a classical NP-hard problem. Shmoys, Stein, and Wein presented the first polynomial-time approximation algorithm for this problem that has a good (polylogar...

Abstract—Energy efficiency is critical for wireless sensor networks. The data gathering process must be carefully designed to conserve energy and extend the network lifetime. Fo...
We investigate the Semidefinite Programming based Sums of squares (SOS) decomposition method, designed for global optimization of polynomials, in the context of the (Maximum) Sati...
