This article introduces the concept of monotonic transactions. A monotonic transaction is a particular case of transactions for which the load arrival pattern is (or can be by rot...
We study the effect of laxity, or slack time, on the online scheduling of broadcasts with deadlines. The laxity of a request is defined to be the ratio between its span (differe...

We propose a speed-up method for discrete-event simulations, including sweep-line or -plane techniques, requiring the repeated calculation of the times at which certain discrete e...
An array of n distinct keys can be sorted for logarithmic searching or can be organized as a heap for logarithmic updating, but it is unclear how to attain logarithmic time for bo...
We study the following problem. Given a weighted planar graph G, assign labels L(v) to vertices so that given L(u), L(v) and L(x) for x ∈ X for any X ⊂ V (G), compute the dist...
