In the weighted flow-time problem on a single machine, we are given a set of n jobs, where each job has a processing requirement p_j, release date r_j and weight w_j. The goal is to find a preemptive schedule which minimizes the sum of…

We consider routing in reconfigurable networks, which is also known as coflow scheduling in the literature. The algorithmic literature generally (perhaps implicitly) assumes that the amount of data to be transferred is large. Thus the…
We study {\em routing} and {\em scheduling} in packet-switched networks. We assume an adversary that controls the injection time, source, and destination for each packet injected. A set of paths for these packets is {\em admissible} if no…
We introduce and study a class of optimization problems we coin replenishment problems with fixed turnover times: a very natural model that has received little attention in the literature. Nodes with capacity for storing a certain commodity…

We present a heuristic algorithm for solving the problem of scheduling plans of tasks. The plans are ordered vectors of tasks, and tasks are basic operations carried out by resources. Plans are tied by temporal, precedence and resource…
In multi-hop wireless networks, flow demands mean that some nodes have routing demands of transmitting their data to other nodes with a certain level of transmission rate. When a set of nodes have been deployed with flow demands, it is…

When planning transportation whose operation requires non-consumable resources, the peak demand for allocated resources is often of higher interest than the duration of resource usage. For instance, it is more cost-effective to deliver…
An important objective in scheduling literature is to minimize the sum of weighted flow times. We are given a set of jobs where each job is characterized by a release time, a processing time, and a weight. Our goal is to find a preemptive…

This article focuses on a biobjective extension of the maximum flow network interdiction problem, where each arc in the network is associated with two capacity values. Two maximum flows from a source to a sink are to be computed…
A well-studied nonlinear extension of the minimum-cost flow problem is to minimize the objective $\sum_{ij\in E} C_{ij}(f_{ij})$ over feasible flows $f$, where on every arc $ij$ of the network, $C_{ij}$ is a convex function. We give a…
Routing is a widespread approach to transfer information from a source node to a destination node in many deployed wireless ad-hoc networks. Today's implemented routing algorithms seek to efficiently find the path/route with the largest…
