In competitive analysis, we usually do not put any restrictions on the computational complexity of online algorithms, although efficient algorithms are preferred. Thus if such an...
We study the dynamic bin packing problem introduced by Coffman, Garey and Johnson. This problem is a generalization of the bin packing problem in which items may arrive and depart...

This paper considers online stochastic reservation problems, where requests come online and must be dynamically allocated to limited resources in order to maximize profit. Multi-k...

The main contribution of this paper is an optimal bounded space online algorithm for variable-sized multidimensional packing. In this problem, hyperboxes must be packed in ddimens...
Due to its optimality on a single machine for the problem of minimizing average flow time, ShortestRemaining-Processing-Time (SRPT) appears to be the most natural algorithm to con...
