A d-interval is the union of d disjoint intervals on the real line. A d-track interval is the union of d disjoint intervals on d disjoint parallel lines called tracks, one interval...
Abstract. We describe and evaluate the Running Time Advisor (RTA), a system that can predict the running time of a compute-bound task on a typical shared, unreserved commodity host...
Online interval selection is a problem in which intervals arrive one by one, sorted by their left endpoints. Each interval has a length and a non-negative weight associated with i...
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 study interval coloring problems and present new upper and lower bounds for several variants. We are interested in four problems, online coloring of intervals with and without b...
