Abstract. This paper investigates the complexity of scheduling biprocessor tasks on dedicated processors to minimize mean flow time. Since the general problem is strongly NP-hard,...

We show that the greedy Highest Density First (HDF) algorithm is (1+ )-speed O(1)-competitive for the problem of minimizing the p norms of weighted flow time on m identical machin...
Abstract--Energy efficiency is critical for wireless sensor networks. The data-gathering process must be carefully designed to conserve energy and extend network lifetime. For appl...
This paper deals with the Permutation Flow Shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing total flow time, and therefore reducing in-process inventory. A new hybrid meta...
We investigate flow rate optimization on a wireless link with randomly varying channel gain using techniques from adaptive modulation and network utility maximization. We consider ...
