We consider preemptive offline and online scheduling on identical machines and uniformly related machines in the hierarchical model, with the goal of minimizing the makespan. In t...
Ant colony optimization (ACO) has been widely used for different combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we investigate ACO algorithms with respect to their runtime beh...
—Information dissemination in a large network is typically achieved when each user shares its own information or resources with each other user. Consider n users randomly located...
In a public cloud, bandwidth is traditionally priced in a pay-asyou-go model. Reflecting the recent trend of augmenting cloud computing with bandwidth guarantees, we consider a n...
