—Each processor in a uniform multiprocessor machine is characterized by a speed or computing capacity, with the interpretation that a job executing on a processor with speed s fo...
We present several locking synchronization protocols and associated schedulability conditions for Pfair-scheduled multiprocessor systems. We focus on two classes of protocols. The...
There is growing interest in the area of cross-layer design. This paper addresses the problem of multi-user diversity scheduling together with channel prediction. Recent work demo...
The problem of searching a polygonal region for an unpredictably moving intruder by a set of stationary guards, each carrying an orientable laser, is known as the Searchlight Sche...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
