Large Language Models (LLMs) perform best with well-crafted prompts, yet prompt engineering remains manual, inconsistent, and inaccessible to non-experts. We introduce Promptomatix, an automatic prompt optimization framework that transforms…

We study a variation of the canonical online resource allocation problem in which resources are throughput, rather than budget, constrained. As in the classical setting, the decision-maker must assign sequentially arriving jobs to one of…

We investigate the distributed online economic dispatch problem for power systems with time-varying coupled inequality constraints. The problem is formulated as a distributed online optimization problem in a multi-agent system. At each time…

In peer selection agents must choose a subset of themselves for an award or a prize. As agents are self-interested, we want to design algorithms that are impartial, so that an individual agent cannot affect their own chance of being…

We consider the following scheduling problem. There is a single machine and the jobs will arrive for completion online. Each job j is preemptive and, upon its arrival, its other characteristics are immediately revealed to the machine: the…

We study the \emph{bounded-delay model} for Qualify-of-Service buffer management. Time is discrete. There is a buffer. Unit-length jobs (also called \emph{packets}) arrive at the buffer over time. Each packet has an integer release time, an…

This paper considers a combination of the joint replenishment problem with single machine scheduling. There is a single resource, which is required by all the jobs, and a job can be started at time point $t$ on the machine if and only the…

Augmenting the input of algorithms with predictions is an algorithm design paradigm that suggests leveraging a (possibly erroneous) prediction to improve worst-case performance guarantees when the prediction is perfect (consistency), while…
