On the punctured torus the number of essential self-intersections of a homotopy class of closed curves is bounded (sharply) by a quadratic function of its combinatorial length (th...
Data is typically replicated in a Data Grid to improve the job response time and data availability. Strategies for data replication in a Data Grid have previously been proposed, b...
The problem of optimal data gathering in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is addressed by means of optimization techniques. The goal of this work is to lay the foundations to devel...
This paper presents scheduling algorithms for procrastinators, where the speed that a procrastinator executes a job increases as the due date approaches. We give optimal off-line ...
The well-known problem of state space explosion in model checking is even more critical when applying this technique to programming languages, mainly due to the presence of complex...
