In this work we study a wide range of online and offline routing and packing problems with various objectives. We provide a unified approach, based on a clean primal-dual method...
Meeting the temperature constraints and reducing the hot-spots are critical for achieving reliable and efficient operation of complex multi-core systems. The goal of thermal mana...

In this paper, we assess the impact of heterogeneity on scheduling independent tasks on master-slave platforms. We assume a realistic one-port model where the master can communica...
In many applications involving continuous data streams, data arrival is bursty and data rate fluctuates over time. Systems that seek to give rapid or realtime query responses in su...

This paper studies the dynamic bin packing problem, in which items arrive and depart at arbitrary time. We want to pack a sequence of unit fractions items (i.e., items with sizes ...
