We introduce a novel global constraint for the total weighted completion time of activities on a single unary capacity resource. For propagating the constraint, an O(n4 ) algorithm...
E-FRP is declarative language for programming resourcebounded, event-driven systems. The original high-level semantics of E-FRP requires that each event handler execute atomically...
We study the online ad-auctions problem introduced by Mehta et. al. [15]. We design a (1 − 1/e)competitive (optimal) algorithm for the problem, which is based on a clean primal-...
We study conditional computational entropy: the amount of randomness a distribution appears to have to a computationally bounded observer who is given some correlated information....
Distributed computations, dealing with large amounts of data, are scheduled in Grid clusters today using either a task-centric mechanism, or a worker-centric mechanism. Because of ...
