An Antisocial Strategy for Scheduling Mechanisms
Previous work on task scheduling mechanisms assumed that the agent’s goal is to maximize its own profit without considering the effect of its strategy on the other agents’ pr...

A Distributed Chained Lin-Kernighan Algorithm for TSP Problems
The Chained Lin-Kernighan algorithm (CLK) is one of the best heuristics to solve Traveling Salesman Problems (TSP). In this paper a distributed algorithm is proposed, were nodes i...

On the Scalability of Centralized Control
Scalability of clusters and MPPs is typically discussed in terms of limits on growth: something which grows at a rate of O(log p) (where p is the number of processors) is said to ...
