In this paper, we discuss and compare several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity constraints. The client requests are known beforehand, while ...
The increasing application space of interconnection networks now encompasses several applications, such as packet routing and I/O interconnect, where the throughput of a routing a...
By introducing redundant Klee-Minty examples, we have previously shown that the central path can be bent along the edges of the Klee-Minty cubes, thus having 2n - 2 sharp turns in...
We combine mixed integer linear programming (MILP) and constraint programming (CP) to minimize tardiness in planning and scheduling. Tasks are allocated to facilities using MILP an...
Solution of large sparse linear fixed-point problems lies at the heart of many important performance analysis calculations. These calculations include steady-state, transient and...
