Periodic and aperiodic tasks co-exist in many realtime systems. The periodic tasks typically arise from sensor data or control loops, while the aperiodic tasks generally arise fro...
We study the important problem of how a supplier should optimally share the consequences of demand uncertainty (i.e., the cost of inventory excesses and shortages) with a retailer...
k-mutual exclusion is an important problem for resourceintensive peer-to-peer applications ranging from aggregation to file downloads. In order to be practically useful, k-mutual...
Imagine a group of cooperating agents attempting to allocate tasks amongst themselves without knowledge of their own capabilities. Over time, they develop a belief of their own sk...
This paper presents a hybrid technique that combines List Scheduling (LS) with Genetic Algorithms (GA) for constructing non-preemptive schedules for soft real-time parallel applic...
