We design an algorithm, called the fluid synchronization algorithm (FSA), for the job shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan. We round an optimal sol...
While standard parallel machine scheduling is concerned with good assignments of jobs to machines, we aim to understand how the quality of an assignment is aļ¬ected if the jobsā...
We present a uniļ¬ed optimal semi-online algorithm for preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machines with the objective to minimize the makespan. This algorithm works for a...
Volunteer Computing (VC) projects harness the power of computers owned by volunteers across the Internet to perform hundreds of thousands of independent jobs. In VC projects, the ...
We study the average number of delays suffered by packets routed using greedy (work conserving) scheduling policies. We obtain tight bounds on the worst-case average number of del...
