Several real world applications involve solving combinatorial optimization problems. Commonly, existing heuristic approaches are designed to address specific difficulties of the u...
Grid technologies enable the sharing of a wide variety of distributed resources. To utilize these resources, effective Resource Management systems are needed. Resource Management s...
In this paper, we present a constraint programming approach for the service consolidation problem that is being currently tackled by Neptuny, Milan. The problem is defined as: Giv...
—“Big Data” in map-reduce (M-R) clusters is often fundamentally temporal in nature, as are many analytics tasks over such data. For instance, display advertising uses Behavio...
