This paper addresses a surgery rooms scheduling problem. The problem is modeled as a parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times and an objective of mi...
We develop an analytical model of information dissemination for a gossip protocol. With this model we analyse how fast an item is replicated through a network. We also determine th...
