In the context of scheduling, we study social cost efficiency for a cost-sharing problem in which the service provider's cost is determined by the makespan of the served agen...
The choice of a good annealing schedule is necessary for good performance of simulated annealing for combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we pose the simulated anne...
Abstract--The Grid is an heterogeneous and dynamic environment which enables distributed computation. This makes it a technology prone to failures. Some related work uses replicati...
— In this work we study the problem of determining the throughput capacity of a wireless network. We propose a scheduling algorithm to achieve this capacity within an approximati...
We consider the problem of designing distributed mechanisms for joint congestion control and resource allocation in spatial-reuse TDMA wireless networks. The design problem is pos...
