We consider the problem of on-line scheduling with non-crossing constraints. The objective is to minimize the latest completion time. We provide optimal competitive ratio heuristi...
Abstract. Most applications of competitive analysis have involved online problems where a candidate on-line algorithm must compete on some input sequence against an optimal o -line...
Protocols that provide reliable communicationon top of a network that can lose packets rely on periodically retransmitting packets. The choice of retransmission timeout critically...
Abstract. We consider the problem of maintaining a minimum spanning tree within a graph with dynamically changing edge weights. An online algorithm is confronted with an input sequ...
We consider the problem of selecting threshold times to transition a device to low-power sleep states during an idle period. The two-state case in which there is a single active a...
