We study the online version of the classical parallel machine scheduling problem to minimize the total weighted completion time from the perspective of algorithmic mechanism desig...
Checkpoint-recovery based virtual machine (VM) replication is an attractive technique for accommodating VM installations with high-availability. It provides seamless failover for ...
In this thesis, we describe a decentralized supply chain formation problem where the
supply chain planner or a central design authority (CDA) is faced with the decision
of choosi...
A truthful mechanism consists of an algorithm augmented with a suitable payment function which guarantees that the "players" cannot improve their utilities by "chea...
In the efficient social choice problem, the goal is to assign values, subject to side constraints, to a set of variables to maximize the total utility across a population of agent...
