Constraint-based techniques are frequently used in solving real-life scheduling problems thanks to natural modeling capabilities and strong constraint propagation techniques encod...
The two-dimensional orthogonal packing problem (2OPP) consists in determining if a set of rectangles can be packed in a larger rectangle of fixed size. We propose an exact method ...
Clustering is a common technique to overcome the wire delay problem incurred by the evolution of technology. Fully-distributed architectures, where the register file, the functio...
The increasing popularity of high-volume performancecritical Internet applications calls for a scalable server design that allows meeting individual response-time guarantees. Cons...
We consider machine scheduling on unrelated parallel machines with the objective to minimize the schedule makespan. We assume that, in addition to its machine dependence, the proce...
