Parallel load balancing is studied for problems with certain bisection properties. A class of problems has bisectors if every problem p of weight wp in the class can be subdivided...
In the classical load balancing or multiprocessor scheduling problem, we are given a sequence of jobs of varying sizes and are asked to assign each job to one of the m empty proce...
Virtual views are a mechanism that facilitates re-use and makes queries easier to express. However the use of iterative view definitions makes very simple query evaluation and an...
This paper presents new bounds, heuristics, and an exact algorithm for the Pallet Loading Problem (PLP). PLP maximizes the number of boxes placed on a rectangular pallet. All boxe...
