This paper considers a two-stage development problem for information goods with costless quality degradation. In our model, a seller of information goods faces customers that are ...
— Transmission scheduling is a key design problem in wireless multi-hop networks and many scheduling algorithms have been proposed to maximize the spatial reuse and minimize the ...
In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
We address the question of providing throughput guarantees through distributed scheduling, which has remained an open problem for some time. We consider a simple distributed sched...
Clusters of computers have emerged as mainstream parallel and distributed platforms for high-performance, highthroughput and high-availability computing. To enable effective resou...
