We give a short proof of a result of Tovey [6] on the inapproximability of a scheduling problem known as precedence constrained class sequencing. In addition, we present an approxi...
We consider streaming of pre-encoded and packetized media over best-effort networks in presence of acknowledgment feedback. Given an estimation of future transmission resources an...
—In the last few years, long-distance WiFi networks have been used to provide Internet connectivity in rural areas. The strong requirement to support real-time applications in th...
Divisible Load Theory (DLT) is an established mathematical framework to study Divisible Load Scheduling (DLS). However, traditional DLT does not comprehensively deal with the sche...
This paper presents QLSE (QoS-constrained List Scheduling hEuristics), a Quality of Service-based launch time scheduling algorithm for wide area Grids. QLSE considers applications...
