Motivated by the method for the reconstruction of 3D objects from a set of parallel cross sections, based on the binary operation between 2D sets termed “metric average”, we de...
We study the problem of preemptive scheduling n jobs with given release times on m identical parallel machines. The objective is to minimize the average flow time. We show that wh...

In this paper we introduce and investigate top (bi)comodules of corings, that can be considered as dual to top (bi)modules of rings. The fully coprime spectra of such (bi)comodule...
In this paper, we investigate the roles of replication vs. repair to achieve durability in large-scale distributed storage systems. Specifically, we address the fundamental questio...
We present and analyze simple distributed contention resolution protocols for wireless networks. In our setting, one is given n pairs of senders and receivers located in a metric ...
