The load rebalancing problem
In the classical load balancing or multiprocessor scheduling problem, we are given a sequence of jobs of varying sizes and are asked to assign each job to one of the m empty proce...

Approximation Bounds for a General Class of Precedence Constrained Parallel Machine Scheduling Problems
Abstract. A well studied and difficult class of scheduling problems concerns parallel machines and precedence constraints. In order to model more realistic situations, we consider ...

A Constant Approximation Algorithm for Interference Aware Broadcast in Wireless Networks
— Broadcast protocols play a vital role in multihop wireless networks. Due to the broadcast nature of radio signals, a node’s interference range can be larger than its transmis...

Randomized Truthful Algorithms for Scheduling Selfish Tasks on Parallel Machines
We study the problem of designing truthful algorithms for scheduling a set of tasks, each one owned by a selfish agent, to a set of parallel (identical or unrelated) machines in or...

Improved Bounds for Flow Shop Scheduling
We resolve an open question raised by Feige & Scheideler by showing that the best known approximation algorithm for flow shops is essentially tight with respect to the used low...
