We consider online preemptive scheduling of jobs, arriving one by one, on m identical parallel machines. A buffer of a fixed size K > 0, which assists in partial reordering of...
The ability to classify packets according to pre-defined rules is critical to providing many sophisticated value-added services, such as security, QoS, load balancing, traffic acco...
Let R be a set of objects. An object o R is an outlier, if there exist less than k objects in R whose distances to o are at most r. The values of k, r, and the distance metric ar...
We study a special class of binary trees. Our results have implications on Maker/Breaker games and SAT: We disprove a conjecture of Beck on positional games and construct an unsati...
We consider the use of the earliest-deadline-first (EDF) scheduling algorithm in soft real-time multiprocessor systems. In hard real-time systems, a significant disparity exists...
