This study considers a scheduling environment in which there are two agents and a set of jobs, each of which belongs to one of the two agents and its actual processing time is defined as a decreasing linear function of its starting time. Each of the two agents competes to process its respective jobs on a single machine and has its own scheduling objective to optimize. The objective is to assign...

MapReduce framework is established as the standard approach for parallel processing of massive amounts of data. In this work, we extend the model of MapReduce scheduling on unrelated processors (Moseley et al., SPAA 2011) and deal with the practically important case of jobs with any number of Map and Reduce tasks. We present a polynomial-time (32 + ✏)-approximation algorithm for minimizing the ...

The paper contains the inversion formula for weighted spherical mean. interest to reconstruction a function by its integral sphere grews tremendously in last six decades, stimulated spectrum of new problems and methods image reconstruction. We consider generalization classical mean inverse case when generalized translation acts instead regular. As particular this problem includes action means o...

In this research, the multi-objective project management decision problem with fuzzy goals and fuzzy constraints are considered. We constitute α-cut approach and two various fuzzy goal programming solution methods for solving the Multi-Objective Project Management (MOPM) decision problem under fuzzy environments. The Interactive fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (i-FMOLP) and Weighted Ad...
