This paper considers the problem of routing and rebalancing a shared fleet of autonomous (i.e., self-driving) vehicles providing on-demand mobility within a capacitated transportation network, where congestion might disrupt throughput. We…
Network functions (e.g., firewalls, load balancers, etc.) have been traditionally provided through proprietary hardware appliances. Often, hardware appliances need to be hardwired back to back to form a service chain providing chained…
For popular websites most important concern is to handle incoming load dynamically among web servers, so that they can respond to their client without any wait or failure. Different websites use different strategies to distribute load among…
We consider the online unrelated-machine load balancing problem with recourse, where the algorithm is allowed to re-assign prior jobs. We give a $(2+\epsilon)$-competitive algorithm for the problem with $O_\epsilon(\log n)$ amortized…
Nowadays, centralized Path Computation Elements (PCE) integrate control plane algorithms to optimize routing and load-balancing continuously. When a link fails, the traffic load is automatically transferred to the remaining paths according…
