We present an efficient algorithm for exact calculation and minimization of expected waiting times of all passengers using a bank of elevators. The dynamics of the system are rep...
We give a polynomial approximation scheme for the problem of scheduling on uniformly related parallel machines for a large class of objective functions that depend only on the mac...
We study a class of scheduling problems with batch setups for the online-list and online-time paradigms. Jobs are to be scheduled in batches for processing. All jobs in a batch st...
Periodic update transaction model has been used to maintain freshness (or temporal validity) of real-time data. Period and deadline assignment has been the main focus in the past ...
— The efforts to construct a national scale Grid computing environment have brought unprecedented computing capacity and complicacy. Exploiting this complex infrastructure requir...
