In order to solve heterogeneous single and multiple container loading problems, an algorithm is presented that builds homogeneous blocks of identically orientated items. First a g...
We develop a methodology for evaluating a decision strategy generated by a stochastic optimization model. The methodology is based on a pilot study in which we estimate the distri...

IP multicast is increasingly seen as efficient mode of live content distribution in the Internet to significantly large subscriber bases. Despite its numerous benefits over IP u...
The global inter-networking infrastructure that has become essential for contemporary day-to-day computing and communication tasks, has also enabled the deployment of several large...
We describe the implementation and experimental evaluation of a fault-tolerant leader election service for dynamic systems. Intuitively, distributed applications can use this serv...
