We design an algorithm, called the fluid synchronization algorithm (FSA), for the job shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan. We round an optimal sol...
Abstract--NABBIT is a work-stealing library for execution of task graphs with arbitrary dependencies which is implemented as a library for the multithreaded programming language Ci...
Distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOPs) are a popular way of formulating and solving agent-coordination problems. It is often desirable to solve DCOPs optimally with m...
A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...
Abstract. Asynchronous communications are prominent in distributed and mobile systems. Often consystems consider an abstract point of view with synchronous communications. However ...
