—Scientific simulation and modeling often aid in making critical decisions in such diverse fields as city planning, severe weather prediction and influenza modeling. In some o...
We define the base polytope B(P, g) of a partially ordered set P and a supermodular function g on the ideals ofP as the convex hull of the incidence vectors of all linear extensio...
Network of workstation (NOW) is a cost-effective alternative to massively parallel supercomputers. As commercially available off-theshelf processors become cheaper and faster, it...
In the two-dimensional single large object placement problem, we are given a rectangular master surface which has to be cut into a set of smaller rectangular items, with the aim o...
Abstract. We study the problem of dynamic load-balancing on hierarchical platforms. In particular, we consider applications involving heavy communications on a distributed platform...
