The (Non-Preemptive) Throughput Maximization problem is a natural and fundamental scheduling problem. We are given $n$ jobs, where each job $j$ is characterized by a processing time and a time window, contained in a global interval $[0,T)$,…
We consider the pull-based broadcast scheduling model. In this model, there are n unit-sized pages of information available at the server. Requests arrive over time at the server asking for a specific page. When the server transmits a page,…
Scheduling a set of jobs over a collection of machines is a fundamental problem that needs to be solved millions of times a day in various computing platforms: in operating systems, in large data clusters, and in data centers. Along with…
This paper considers using predictions in the context of the online Joint Replenishment Problem with Deadlines (JRP-D). Prior work includes asymptotically optimal competitive ratios of $O(1)$ for the clairvoyant setting and $O(\sqrt{n})$ of…
We propose new abstract and unified perspectives on a range of scheduling and graph coloring problems with general min-sum objectives. Specifically, we consider various problems where the objective function is the weighted sum of completion…
We study flow shop scheduling with stochastic reentry, where jobs must complete multiple passes through the entire shop, and the number of passes that a job requires for completion is drawn from a discrete probability distribution. The goal…
We consider the problem of online scheduling on a single machine in order to minimize weighted flow time. The existing algorithms for this problem (STOC '01, SODA '03, FOCS '18) all require exact knowledge of the processing time of each…
In this paper, we discuss our approach and algorithmic framework for solving large-scale security constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) problems. SCOPF is a mixed integer non-convex optimization problem that aims to obtain the minimum…
This paper studies the fundamental problem of how to reroute $k$ unsplittable flows of a certain demand in a capacitated network from their current paths to their respective new paths, in a congestion-free manner and fast. This scheduling…
Dynamic affinity load balancing of multi-type tasks on multi-skilled servers, when the service rate of each task type on each of the servers is known and can possibly be different from each other, is an open problem for over three decades.…
We consider the problem of online preemptive scheduling on a single machine to minimize the total flow time. In clairvoyant scheduling, where job processing times are revealed upon arrival, the Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT)…
We introduce and study a general scheduling problem that we term the Packing Scheduling problem. In this problem, jobs can have different arrival times and sizes; a scheduler can process job $j$ at rate $x_j$, subject to arbitrary packing…
Cloud Computing is the latest blooming technology in the era of Computer Science and Information Technology domain. There is an enormous pool of data centres, which are termed as Clouds where the services and associated data are being…
In non-clairvoyant scheduling, the task is to find an online strategy for scheduling jobs with a priori unknown processing requirements with the objective to minimize the total (weighted) completion time. We revisit this well-studied…
In this paper we analyze the average queue backlog in a combined input-output queued switch using a maximal size matching scheduling algorithm. We compare this average backlog to the average backlog achieved by an optimal switch. We model…
This paper proposes a new class of online policies for scheduling in input-buffered crossbar switches. Our policies are throughput optimal for a large class of arrival processes which satisfy strong-law of large numbers. Given an initial…
Throughput-optimal transmission scheduling in wireless networks has been a well considered problem in the literature, and the method for achieving optimality, MaxWeight scheduling, has been known for several decades. This algorithm achieves…
The non-clairvoyant scheduling problem has gained new interest within learning-augmented algorithms, where the decision-maker is equipped with predictions without any quality guarantees. In practical settings, access to predictions may be…
New optical technologies offer the ability to reconfigure network topologies dynamically, rather than setting them once and for all. This is true in both optical wide area networks (optical WANs) and in datacenters, despite the many…
Generalizing many well-known and natural scheduling problems, scheduling with job-specific cost functions has gained a lot of attention recently. In this setting, each job incurs a cost depending on its completion time, given by a private…
