We study the problem of scheduling unit size jobs on n processors connected by a ring. We show a distributed algorithm for this problem with an approximation ratio of 3 2 + √ 2....
In this paper we show that iterative rounding is a powerful and flexible tool in the design of approximation algorithms for multiobjective optimization problems. We illustrate tha...
This paper addresses the problem of configuring wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Specifically, we seek answers to the following questions: how many sensors should be deployed, wha...
In this paper, a novel and effective criterion based on the estimation of the signal-to-noise-ratio figure (SNRF) is proposed to optimize the number of hidden neurons in neural ne...
We propose a new method for calculating a tight approximation to the distribution of the sum of independent lognormal random variables. We make use of a three
