The file-bundle caching problem arises frequently in scientific applications where jobs process several files concurrently. Consider a host system in a data-grid that maintains...
We consider a parallel server system that consists of several customer classes and server pools in parallel. We propose a simple robust control policy to minimize the total linear...
A distributed problem solving approach to job shop scheduling is described in this paper. The approach views the system as an Organisation. Agents are assigned di erent roles and ...
We study how protocol design for various functionalities within a communication network architecture can be viewed as a distributed resource allocation problem. This involves unde...
Abstract. The rooted delay-constrained minimum spanning tree problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising for example in the design of centralized broadcasting ...
