We provide several non-approximability results for deterministic scheduling problems whose objective is to minimize the total job completion time. Unless P = NP, none of the probl...

ABSTRACT: This work considers the problem of performing a set of N tasks on a set of P cooperating message-passing processors (P N). The processors use a group communication servi...
We address the problem of minimizing the communication involved in the exchange of similar documents. We consider two users, A and B, who hold documents x and y respectively. Neit...
This paper attempts to provide a better understanding of the facial structure of polyhedra previously investigated separately. It introduces the notion of transitive packing and th...
We consider the problem faced by a mobile robot that has to reach a given target by traveling through an unmapped region in the plane containing oriented rectangular obstacles. We...
