Abstract. With the increasing popularity of large-scale distributed computing networks, a new aspect has to be considered for scheduling problems: machines may not be available per...
We consider the following buffer management problem arising in QoS networks: packets with specified weights and deadlines arrive at a network switch and need to be forwarded so th...

This work is a confluence of three problems in constraint reasoning: qualitative temporal reasoning (QTR), incremental reasoning, and explanation generation. Our primary objective...
In this paper we propose a utility model that accounts for both sales and branding advertisers. We first study the computational complexity of optimization problems related to bo...
We give an on-line deterministic algorithm for the weighted bipartite matching problem that achieves a competitive ratio of (2n − 1) in any metric space (where n is the number o...
