Online knapsack problem is considered, where items arrive in a sequential fashion that have two attributes; value and weight. Each arriving item has to be accepted or rejected on its arrival irrevocably. The objective is to maximize the sum…
Semi-online algorithms that are allowed to perform a bounded amount of repacking achieve guaranteed good worst-case behaviour in a more realistic setting. Most of the previous works focused on minimization problems that aim to minimize some…
FP-Growth algorithm is a Frequent Pattern Min- ing (FPM) algorithm that has been extensively used to study correlations and patterns in large scale datasets. While several researchers have designed distributed memory FP-Growth algorithms,…
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…
The overwhelming majority of survivable (fault-tolerant) network design models assume a uniform fault model. Such a model assumes that every subset of the network resources (edges or vertices) of a given cardinality $k$ may fail. While this…
Bin packing is a well studied problem involved in many applications. The classical bin packing problem is about minimising the number of bins and ignores how the bins are utilised. We focus in this paper, on a variant of bin packing that is…
A 3D flexible bin packing problem (3D-FBPP) arises from the process of warehouse packing in e-commerce. An online customer's order usually contains several items and needs to be packed as a whole before shipping. In particular, 5% of tens…
In many problems, the inputs arrive over time, and must be dealt with irrevocably when they arrive. Such problems are online problems. A common method of solving online problems is to first solve the corresponding linear program, and then…
Since the origins of the Internet, various vulnerabilities exploiting the IP fragmentation process have plagued IPv4 protocol, many leading to a wide range of attacks. IPv6 modified the handling of fragmentations and introduced a specific…

We consider several extensions of the fractional bin packing problem, a relaxation of the traditional bin packing problem where the objects may be split across multiple bins. In these extensions, we introduce load-balancing constraints…
We study the problem of scheduling jobs on fault-prone machines communicating via a shared channel, also known as multiple-access channel. We have $n$ arbitrary length jobs to be scheduled on $m$ identical machines, $f$ of which are prone…

Fault tolerance overhead of high performance computing (HPC) applications is becoming critical to the efficient utilization of HPC systems at large scale. HPC applications typically tolerate fail-stop failures by checkpointing. Another…
The online bin covering problem is: given an input sequence of items find a placement of the items in the maximum number of bins such that the sum of the items' sizes in each bin is at least~1. Boyar~{\em et~al}.\@~\cite{boyar2021} present…
Production data centers operate under various workload sizes ranging from latency-sensitive mice flows to long-lived elephant flows. However, the predominant load balancing scheme in data center networks, equal-cost multi-path (ECMP), is…
We study different online optimization problems in the random-order model. There is a finite set of bins with known capacity and a finite set of items arriving in a random order. Upon arrival of an item, its size and its value for each of…
We consider the online caching problem for a cache of limited size. In a time-slotted system, a user requests one file from a large catalog in each slot. If the requested file is cached, the policy receives a unit reward and zero rewards…
Real-world data contains various kinds of errors. Before analyzing data, one usually needs to process the raw data. However, traditional data processing based on exactly match often misses lots of valid information. To get high-quality…
