Abstract. In this paper we suggest the use of light for performing useful computations. Namely, we propose a special computational device which uses light rays for solving the Hami...
Scheduling DAGs with communication times is the theoretical basis for achieving efficient parallelism on distributed memory systems. We generalize Graham's task-level in a ma...
Internet advertising is a sophisticated game in which the many advertisers "play" to optimize their return on investment. There are many "targets" for the adve...
Online services such as web search, news portals, and ecommerce applications face the challenge of providing highquality experiences to a large, heterogeneous user base. Recent ef...
Abstract. Computing lower bounds to the best-cost extension of a tuple is an ubiquous task in constraint optimization. A particular case of special interest is the computation of l...
