We consider the parallels between the preference elicitation problem in combinatorial auctions and the problem of learning an unknown function from learning theory. We show that l...
Given two admission control algorithms that are cA-acceptcompetitive and cR-reject-competitive respectively, we give two ways to make an algorithm that is simultaneously O(cA)acce...
The increasing application space of interconnection networks now encompasses several applications, such as packet routing and I/O interconnect, where the throughput of a routing a...
This paper is motivated by a need of practical asynchronous network systems, i.e., a wait-free distributed mutual exclusion algorithm (WDME). The WDME algorithm is very appealing w...
Memetic algorithms are evolutionary algorithms incorporating local search to increase exploitation. This hybridization has been fruitful in countless applications. However, theory...
