We consider the following fundamental scheduling problem. The input consists of n jobs to be scheduled on a set of machines of bounded capacities. Each job is associated with a re...
Abstract. We study computationally hard combinatorial problems arising from the important engineering question of how to maximize the number of connections that can be simultaneous...
We consider requests for capacity in a given tree network T = (V, E) where each edge of the tree has some integer capacity ue. Each request consists of an integer demand df and a ...

The problem of grooming is central in studies of optical networks. In graph-theoretic terms, it can be viewed as assigning colors to given paths in a graph, so that at most g (the ...
— We study wavelength assignment for lightpaths over WDM rings to minimize the SONET ADMs used. This problem has attracted much attention recently. However, its computation compl...
