Abstract—The high repair cost of (n;k) Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) erasure codes has recently motivated a new class of MDS codes, called Repair MDS codes, that can signific...
Parallel applications typically run in batch mode, sometimes after long waits in a scheduler queue. In some situations, it would be desirable to interactively add new functionalit...
Using Hadamard matrices and mutually orthogonal Latin squares, we construct two new quasi-symmetric designs, with parameters 2 (66, 30, 29) and 2 - (78, 36, 30). These are the fir...
This paper proposes a new Evolutionary Algorithm for the Dynamic Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem. This algorithm has new features that get around some problems lik...
