This paper presents a novel partial assignment technique (PAT) that decides which tasks should be assigned to the same resource without explicitly defining assignment of these tas...
Heterogeneous clusters and grid infrastructures are becoming increasingly popular. In these computing infrastructures, machines have different resources, including memory sizes, d...
We investigate a scheduling problem motivated by pull-based data delivering systems where there is a server keeping a number of pages; and clients requesting the same page can be ...
For fading broadcast channels (BC), a throughput optimal scheduling policy called queue proportional scheduling (QPS) is presented via geometric programming (GP). QPS finds a data ...
Recently, much attention has been paid on data-driven (or swarm-like) based live streaming systems due to its rapid growth in deployment over Internet. In such systems, nodes rando...
