Abstract. We present a first constant performance guarantee for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release ...
This paper presents a concept hierarchy-based approach to privacy preserving data collection for data mining called the P-level model. The P-level model allows data providers to d...
When releasing microdata for research purposes, one needs to preserve the privacy of respondents while maximizing data utility. An approach that has been studied extensively in re...
Background: Neuronal communication is tightly regulated in time and in space. The neuronal transmission takes place in the nerve terminal, at a specialized structure called the sy...
This paper analyzes the effect of overbooking for scheduling systems in a commercial environment. In this scenario each job is associated with a release time and a finishing deadl...
