Abstract—We present LeWI: a novel load balancing algorithm, that can balance applications with very different patterns of imbalance. Our algorithm can balance fine grain imbalan...
Two ideas taken from Bayesian optimization and classifier systems are presented for personnel scheduling based on choosing a suitable scheduling rule from a set for each person’s...
