Online Bounded Analysis

open access: yes, 2016
Though competitive analysis is often a very good tool for the analysis of online algorithms, sometimes it does not give any insight and sometimes it gives counter-intuitive results.

An Adaptive Elephant Herd Optimization‐based Load Balancing Algorithm for energy efficient Networks

open access: yesIET Networks, Accepted Article.
Distributing resources among PCs, networks, and servers enables organizations to better manage their workloads and applications. The AEHO algorithm was used in this study to design a load‐balancing system. The elephant population is alienated into clans, with each point on the elephant's trunk denoting a different type of solution.

Scheduling optimization of optical lens polishing

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Optical systems have achieved notable progress in focusing and imaging technologies; however, manual grinding remains indispensable, resulting in elevated costs, extended timelines, and inefficiencies. These difficulties are compounded by operational constraints, uneven machine utilization, and risks of order delays and escalating expenses ...

Efficient Algorithms for Scheduling Moldable Tasks

open access: yes, 2021
We study the problem of scheduling $n$ independent moldable tasks on $m$ processors that arises in large-scale parallel computations. When tasks are monotonic, the best known result is a $(\frac{3}{2}+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithm for makespan ...
