Several approximation algorithms with proven performance guarantees have been proposed to find approximate solutions to classical combinatorial optimization problems. However, the...
Home health care, i.e. visiting and nursing patients in their homes, is a growing sector in the medical service business. From a staff rostering point of view, the problem is to f...
We analyze a multi-server priority queueing system with partial buffer sharing, where the input is a discrete autoregressive process of order 1 (DAR(1)) which is known as a good m...
The multicasting is defined as the distribution of the same information stream from one to many nodes concurrently. There has been an intensive research effort to design protocols...
