Risk-aware beacon scheduling for tree-based ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 wireless networks
In a tree-based ZigBee network, ZigBee routers (ZRs) must schedule their beacon transmission times to avoid beacon collisions. The beacon schedule determines packet delivery laten...

Nearly insensitive bounds on SMART scheduling
We define the class of SMART scheduling policies. These are policies that bias towards jobs with small remaining service times, jobs with small original sizes, or both, with the ...

Finishing flows quickly with preemptive scheduling
Today’s data centers face extreme challenges in providing low latency. However, fair sharing, a principle commonly adopted in current congestion control protocols, is far from o...

Machine scheduling with resource dependent processing times
We consider machine scheduling on unrelated parallel machines with the objective to minimize the schedule makespan. We assume that, in addition to its machine dependence, the proce...

IMproved results for route planning in stochastic transportation
In the bus network problem, the goal is to generate a plan for getting from point X to point Y within a city using buses in the smallest expected time. Because bus arrival times a...
