Given two replication schemes old X and new X , the Replica Transfer Scheduling Problem (RTSP) aims at reaching new X , starting from old X , with minimal implementation cost. In ...
In this paper we consider the problem of managing and exploiting schedules in an uncertain and distributed environment. We assume a team of collaborative agents, each responsible ...

The paper presents a method for generating solutions of a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) uniformly at random. The main idea is to express the CSP as a factored probability d...
We present a new approach to optimal rectangle packing, an NP-complete problem that can be used to model many simple scheduling tasks. Recent attempts at incorporating artificial ...
— Scheduling by Edge Reversal (SER) is a fully distributed scheduling mechanism based on the manipulation of acyclic orientations of a graph. This work uses SER to perform constr...
