One of the key requirement for Grid infrastructures is the ability to share resources with nontrivial qualities of service. However, resource management in a decentralized infrast...
Scheduling of multiple parallel machinesin the face of sequence dependent setups and downstream considerations is a hard problem. No single efficient algorithm is guaranteedto pro...
Abstract--The Distributed Stochastic Algorithm (DSA), Distributed Breakout Algorithm (DBA), and variations such as Distributed Simulated Annealing (DSAN), MGM-1, and DisPeL, are di...
Combinatorial covering arrays have been used in several testing approaches. This paper first discusses some existing methods for finding such arrays. Then a SAT-based approach a...
Electronic design automation is a field replete with challenging ? and often intractable ? problems to be solved over very large instances. As a result, the field of design automa...
