Our main result is an optimal online algorithm for preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machines with the objective to minimize makespan. The algorithm is deterministic, yet...
We study the effect of laxity, or slack time, on the online scheduling of broadcasts with deadlines. The laxity of a request is defined to be the ratio between its span (differe...

We consider the problem of maximizingthe number of jobs completed by their deadlinein an online single processor system where the jobs are preemptable and have release times. So i...
We describe a new class of utility-maximization scheduling problem with precedence constraints, the disconnected staged scheduling problem (DSSP). DSSP is a nonpreemptive multipro...

A novel energy reduction strategy to maximally exploit the dynamic workload variation is proposed for the offline voltage scheduling of preemptive systems. The idea is to construc...
