In this chapter we present recent contributions in the field of sequential job scheduling on network machines which work in parallel; these are subject to temporary unavailability...

We present efficient approximation algorithms for a number of problems that call for computing the prices that maximize the revenue of the seller on a set of items. Algorithms for ...
Abstract. Association rule mining algorithms such as Apriori were originally developed to automatically detect patterns in sales transactions and were later on also successfully ap...
— In this work, a probabilistic model is established for recurrent networks. The EM (expectation-maximization) algorithm is then applied to derive a new fast training algorithm f...
The Minimum Vertex Cover problem is the problem of, given a graph, finding a smallest set of vertices that touches all edges. We show that it is NP-hard to approximate this proble...
