This paper presents a new approach for analyzing the performance of grid scheduling algorithms for tasks with dependencies. Finding the optimal procedures for DAG scheduling in Gr...
Replicating data objects onto servers across a system can alleviate access delays. The selection of data objects and servers requires solving a constraint optimization problem, wh...
Multiproduct pipelines permit to transport large volumes of a wide range of refined petroleum products from major supply sources to distribution centers near market areas. Batches...
Operation management of underground passenger transport systems is associated with combinatorial optimization problems (known as crew and train scheduling and rostering) which bel...
The performance of many modern computer and communication systems is dictated by latency of communication pipelines. At the same time, power consumption is often another limiting ...
