Abstract. Roughgarden and Sundararajan recently introduced an alternative measure of efficiency for cost sharing mechanisms. We study cost sharing methods for combinatorial optimiz...
In this paper an efficient scheduling mechanism for wireless local area networks (WLAN) is proposed. This innovative scheme, named hybrid HCCA-EDCA centralised scheme (HHECS), is b...

Control systems running on a computer are subject to timing disturbances coming from implementation constraints. Fortunately closed-loop systems behave robustly w.r.t. modelling e...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing is said to be the next wave of computing after client-server and web-based computing. It provides an opportunity to harness a lot of idle peer-resource...

This paper addresses the problem of scheduling real-time jobs that have multiple feasible intervals. The problem is NP-hard. We present an optimal branch-and-bound algorithm. When...
