Distributed key-value stores employ replication for high availability. Yet, they do not always
efficiently take advantage of the availability of multiple replicas for each value and read …

This work studies the problem of semi-online scheduling on two uniform parallel machines
with speeds 1 and s (≥ 2), respectively. We introduce a novel concept of initial lookahead in …

We are interested in this paper in studying how to schedule tasks in an extreme edge
setting, where some sensors produce data and subsequent tasks are executed locally. They …

We consider the online problem of minimizing weighted flow-time on unrelated machines.
Although much is known about this problem in the resource-augmentation setting, these …

La plupart des données produites par les capteurs de l'Internet des Objets n'ont d'intérêt que
pour leur environnement local et ont une durée de vie courte. Dans ce travail, nous ciblons …
