We resolve an open question raised by Feige & Scheideler by showing that the best known approximation algorithm for flow shops is essentially tight with respect to the used low...
We study integrated prefetching and caching in single and parallel disk systems. A recent approach used linear programming to solve the problem. We show that integrated prefetching...
We propose an efficient strategy for resource management for scalable QoS guaranteed real-time communication services. This strategy is based on sink trees, and is particularly we...
As the Internet transforms from the traditional best-effort service network into QoS-capable multi-service network, it is essential to have new architectural design and appropriate...

Given a graph G and a collection of source-sink pairs in G, what is the least integer c such that each source can be connected by a path to its sink, with at most c paths going th...
