In this paper we set the first steps towards the development of a commercially viable tool that uses evolutionary computation to address the Product to Shelf Allocation Problem (P...
The process of scheduling computations for Internet-based computing presents challenges not encountered with more traditional platforms for parallel and distributed computing. The...
We consider Internet broadband access as an elastic service whose value varies across segments of the user population. We show that introducing multiple tiers of service can be an ...
Given a set of records, a threshold value t and a similarity function, we investigate the problem of finding all pairs of records such that similarity between each pair is above t....
Finding an efficient configuration for cluster-based multi-tier Internet services is often a difficult task. Moreover, even a good configuration could become obsolete, depending o...
