We consider the problem of admission control in resource sharing systems, such as web servers and transaction processing systems, when the job size distribution has high variabili...
Abstract. In this paper, a Stochastic Dynamic Facility Location Problem (SDFLP) is formulated. In the first part, an exact solution method based on stochastic dynamic programming ...
Solving large, irregular graph problems efficiently is challenging. Current software systems and commodity multiprocessors do not support fine-grained, irregular parallelism wel...
