## Abstract A set of points, called consumers, and another point called central supplier, are located in a Euclidean plane. The cost of constructing a connection between two points is proportional to the distance between them. The minimum cost required for connecting all the consumers to the suppli

## Abstract The problem of allocating cost in a spanning tree network is considered. A number of possible schemes are surveyed, and critically analyzed. Methods are suggested that are preferred given different emphases among the criteria for such a function.
We consider the problem of allocating \(n\) tasks of a distributed program to \(m\) processors of a distributed system in order to minimize total communication and processing costs. If the intertask communication can be represented by a tree and if the communication costs are uniform, it is known th
