Large-scale storage systems often hold data for multiple applications and users. A problem in such systems is isolating applications and users from each other to prevent their wor...

M-convex functions, introduced by Murota (1996, 1998), enjoy various desirable properties as “discrete convex functions.” In this paper, we propose two new polynomial-time sca...
The application of resource-defined fitness sharing (RFS) to shape nesting problems reveals a remarkable ability to discover tilings [7, 8]. These tilings represent exact covers...
Many of today's complex computer applications are being modeled and constructed using the principles inherent to real-time distributed object systems. In response to this dem...
— We target the problem of predicting resource usage in situations where the modeling data is scarce, non-stationary, or expensive to obtain. This scenario occurs frequently in c...
