This paper presents PipesFS, an I/O architecture for Linux 2.6 that increases I/O throughput and adds support for heterogeneous parallel processors by (1) collapsing many I/O inte...
This paper is intended as a contribution to enhance orthogonal collocation methods. In this, a novel collocation method--TH-collocation--is applied to the biharmonic equation and ...
We consider auction design in a setting with costly preference elicitation. Well designed auctions can help to avoid unnecessary elicitation while determining efficient allocations...
Despite a steady improvement of computational hardware, results of numerical simulation are still tightly bound to the simulation tool and strategy used, and may substantially var...
This paper is concerned with an employee scheduling problem involving multiple shifts and work centers, where employees belong to a hierarchy of categories having downward substitu...
