In this paper we examine the problem of balancing load in a large-scale distributed system when information about server loads may be stale. It is well known that sending each req...
We present an "adaptive multi-start" genetic algorithm for the Euclidean traveling salesman problem that uses a population of tours locally optimized by the Lin-Kernigha...

Abstract. In combinatorics, the probabilistic method is a very powerful tool to prove the existence of combinatorial objects with interesting and useful properties. Explicit constr...
A complete partition of a graph G is a partition of its vertex set in which any two distinct classes are connected by an edge. Let cp(G) denote the maximum number of classes in a ...
—Recent advances in virtualization technology have made it a common practice to consolidate virtual machines(VMs) into a fewer number of servers. An efficient consolidation sche...
