Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (OBDDs) are a data structure for Boolean functions which supports many useful operations. It finds applications in CAD, model checking, and symbol...
Abstract. In this paper, we consider two new online optimization problems (each with several variants), present similar online algorithms for both, and show that one reduces to the...
Production scheduling, the problem of sequentially con guring a factory to meet forecasted demands, is a critical problem throughout the manufacturing industry. The requirement of...

Search engines use inverted files as index data structures to speed up the solution of user queries. The index is distributed on a set of processors forming a cluster of computer...
We propose a general dual-fitting technique for analyzing online scheduling algorithms in the unrelated machines setting where the objective function involves weighted flow-time...
