We present a combinatorial framework for the study of a natural class of distributed optimization problems that involve decisionmaking by a collection of n distributed agents in th...
Code duplication is an important problem in application maintenance. Tools exist that support code duplication detection. However, few of them propose a solution for the problem, ...
The problem of scheduling a weighted directed acyclic graph (DAG) to a set of homogeneous processors to minimize the completion time has been extensively studied. The NPcompletene...
—Cloud computing is enabling groups of academic collaborators, groups of business partners, etc., to come together in an ad-hoc manner. This paper focuses on the group-based data...
We study Reader-Writer Exclusion [1], a well-known variant of the Mutual Exclusion problem [2] where processes are divided into two classes–readers and writers–and multiple re...
