We consider here the MultiBot problem for the scheduling and the resource parametrization of jobs related to the production or the transportation of different products inside a given time horizon. Those jobs must meet known in advance…
In real-time systems, in addition to the functional correctness recurrent tasks must fulfill timing constraints to ensure the correct behavior of the system. Partitioned scheduling is widely used in real-time systems, i.e., the tasks are…
We study the problem of scheduling precedence-constrained jobs on heterogenous machines in the presence of non-uniform job and machine communication delays. We are given as input $n$ unit size precedence-ordered jobs and $m$ related…
We consider a parallel system of $m$ identical machines prone to unpredictable crashes and restarts, trying to cope with the continuous arrival of tasks to be executed. Tasks have different computational requirements (i.e., processing time…
DAG (directed acyclic graph) tasks are widely used to model parallel real-time workload. The real-time performance of a DAG task not only depends on its total workload, but also its graph structure. Intuitively, with the same total…
This paper deals with the recoverable robust shortest path problem under the interval uncertainty representation. The problem is known to be strongly NP-hard and not approximable in general digraphs. Polynomial time algorithms for the…
In this work, we study the computational (parameterized) complexity of $P \mid r_j, p_j=p \mid \sum_j w_j U_j$. Here, we are given $m$ identical parallel machines and $n$ jobs with equal processing time, each characterized by a release…
We are concerned with the problem of scheduling $n$ jobs onto $m$ identical machines. Each machine has to be in operation for a prescribed time, and the objective is to minimize the total machine working time. Precisely, let $c_i$ be the…
This article is devoted to propose some lower and upper bounds for the coupled-tasks scheduling problem in presence of compatibility constraints according to classical complexity hypothesis ($\mathcal{P} \neq \mathcal{NP}$,…
EDA problems are graph-structured, but not all graph-structured problems call for the same GNN computation. We argue that successful GNN-for-EDA methods are those whose propagation, aggregation, and supervision align with the native algebra…
Scheduling jobs with given processing times on identical parallel machines so as to minimize their total completion time is one of the most basic scheduling problems. We study interesting generalizations of this classical problem involving…
This paper focuses on the problem of coflow scheduling with precedence constraints in identical parallel networks, which is a well-known $\mathcal{NP}$-hard problem. Coflow is a relatively new network abstraction used to characterize…
In this paper, we consider the parameterized complexity of the following scheduling problem. We must schedule a number of jobs on $m$ machines, where each job has unit length, and the graph of precedence constraints consists of a set of…
Coflow is a network abstraction used to represent communication patterns in data centers. The coflow scheduling problem in large data centers is one of the most important $NP$-hard problems. Many previous studies on coflow scheduling mainly…
The Map-Reduce computing framework rose to prominence with datasets of such size that dozens of machines on a single cluster were needed for individual jobs. As datasets approach the exabyte scale, a single job may need distributed…
We address the tactical fixed job scheduling problem with spread-time constraints. In such a problem, there are a fixed number of classes of machines and a fixed number of groups of jobs. Jobs of the same group can only be processed by…
In graph realization problems one is given a degree sequence and the task is to decide whether there is a graph whose vertex degrees match to the given sequence. This realization problem is known to be polynomial-time solvable when the…
The paper considers single-machine scheduling problems with a non-renewable resource. In this setting, we are given a set jobs, each of which is characterized by a processing time, a weight, and the job also has some resource requirement.…
We study probabilistic protocols for concurrent threshold-based load balancing in networks. There are n resources or machines represented by nodes in an undirected graph and m >> n users that try to find an acceptable resource by moving…
Over the years, many multiprocessor locking protocols have been designed and analyzed. However, the performance of these protocols highly depends on how the tasks are partitioned and prioritized and how the resources are shared locally and…
