Clusters and distributed systems offer fault tolerance and high performance through load sharing, and are thus attractive in real-time applications. When all computers are up and ...
Abstract— We present in this paper an analytical model for the calculation of network load and drop probabilities in a TCP/IP network with general topology. First we formulate ou...

The criterion of total weighted completion time occurs as a sub-problem of combinatorial optimization problems in such diverse areas as scheduling, container loading and storage a...
We study the problem of designing a survivable WDM network based on covering the communication requests with subnetworks that are protected independently from each other. We consi...
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...
