Abstract. We propose a simple, general, randomized technique to reduce certain geometric optimization problems to their corresponding decision problems. These reductions increase t...
We introduce the coupled placement problem for modern data centers spanning placement of application computation and data among available server and storage resources. While the t...
Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
After the detection of the first extrasolar planet (exoplanet) more than one decade ago we currently know about more than 200 planets around other stars and there are about twenty...
Manufacturing process variability impacts the performance of synchronous logic circuits by means of its effect on both clock network and functional block delays. Typically, varia...
