Bag-of-Tasks Scheduling under Budget Constraints
Commercial cloud offerings, such as Amazon's EC2, let users allocate compute resources on demand, charging based on reserved time intervals. While this gives great flexibilit...

Multicast capacity for hybrid wireless networks
We study the multicast capacity of a random wireless network consisting of ordinary wireless nodes and base stations, known as a hybrid network. Assume that n ordinary wireless no...

Disproof of the Neighborhood Conjecture with Implications to SAT
We study a special class of binary trees. Our results have implications on Maker/Breaker games and SAT: We disprove a conjecture of Beck on positional games and construct an unsati...

Fractional Pebbling and Thrifty Branching Programs
We study the branching program complexity of the tree evaluation problem, introduced in [BCM+09a] as a candidate for separating NL from LogCFL. The input to the problem is a roote...

Not all linear functions are equally difficult for the compact genetic algorithm
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) try to solve an optimization problem by finding a probability distribution focussed around its optima. For this purpose they conduct ...
