We consider the problem of scheduling permanent jobs on related machines in an on-line fashion. We design a new algorithm that achieves the competitive ratio ' of 3 q 8 f 5.828 for the deterministic version, and 3.31rln 2.155 f 4.311 for its randomized variant, improving the previous competitive rat
We consider load balancing of temporary tasks on m machines in the restricted assignment model. It is known that the best competitive ratio for this problem is ( β m ). This bound is not achieved by the greedy algorithm whose competitive ratio is known to be (m 2/3 ). We give an alternative analysis
