      Profit-aware server allocation for green internet services 

      Mazzucco, M.; Dyachuk, D.; Dikaiakos, Marios D. (2010)
      A server farm is examined, where a number of servers are used to offer a service to impatient customers. Every completed request generates a certain amount of profit, running servers consume electricity for power and ...

      The price of selfish routing 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Spirakis, Paul G. (2001)
      The problem of routing in congested communication networks was studied. A noncooperative network consisting of a set of m parallel links within a game theoretic framework was considered for analysis. A collection of n ...

      Designing context models for CARS incorporating partially observable context 

      Mettouris, Christos; Papadopoulos, George Angelos (2015)
      Context modelling and context reasoning are widely used topics in Context-Aware Recommender Systems research. Based on our research, the development of context models in context-aware recommender systems is problematic in ...

      Efficient, strongly consistent implementations of shared memory 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Roth, D. (1992)
      We present linearizable implementations for two distributed organizations of multiprocessor shared memory. For the full caching organization, where each process keeps a local copy of the whole memory, we present a linearizable ...

      Linearizable read/write objects 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Roth, D. (1999)
      We study the cost of using message passing to implement linearizable read/write objects for shared-memory multiprocessors under various assumptions on the available timing information. We take as cost measures the worst-case ...

      A randomized, O(log w)-depth 2-smoothing network 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Sauerwald, T. (2009)
      A K-smoothing network is a distributed, low-contention data structure where tokens arrive arbitrarily on w input wires and reach w output wires via their completely asynchronous propagation through the network. The maximum ...

      The impact of randomization in smoothing networks 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Sauerwald, T. (2008)
      We revisit smoothing networks[3], which are made up of balancers and wires. Tokens arrive arbitrarily on w input wires and propagate asynchronously through the network

      A glimpse at Christos H. Papadimitriou 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Spirakis, Paul G. (2009)
      Christos H. Papadimitriou is one of the most influential and colorful researchers in Computer Science today. This glimpse is the outcome of a modest attempt of us to a biographical introduction to Christos, which we have ...

      The impact of randomization in smoothing networks 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Sauerwald, T. (2010)
      We revisit randomized smoothing networks (Herlihy and Tirthapura in J Parallel Distrib Comput 66(5):626-632, 2006), which are made up of balancers and wires. We assume that balancers are oriented independently and uniformly ...

      The price of selfish routing 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Spirakis, Paul G. (2007)
      We study the problem of routing traffic through a congested network. We focus on the simplest case of a network consisting of m parallel links. We assume a collection of n network users

      How many attackers can selfish defenders catch? 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Lesta, Vicky Papadopoulou (2013)
      In a distributed system with attacks and defenses, both attackers and defenders are self-interested entities. We assume a reward-sharing scheme among interdependent defenders

      How many attackers can selfish defenders catch? 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Lesta, Vicky Papadopoulou (2008)
      In a distributed system with attacks and defenses, an economic investment in defense mechanisms aims at increasing the degree of system protection against the attacks. We study such investments in the selfish setting, where ...

      Cost sharing mechanisms for fair pricing of resource usage 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Panagopoulou, P. N.; Spirakis, Paul G. (2008)
      We propose a simple and intuitive cost mechanism which assigns costs for the competitive usage of m resources by n selfish agents. Each agent has an individual demand

      A cost mechanism for fair pricing of resource usage 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Panagopoulou, P. N.; Spirakis, Paul G. (2005)
      We propose a simple and intuitive cost mechanism which assigns costs for the competitive usage of m resources by n selfish agents. Each agent has an individual demand

      Trade-off results for connection management 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Papadakis, Nikos K. (2003)
      A connection management protocol establishes and handles a connection between two hosts across a wide-area network to allow reliable message delivery. We continue the previous work of Kleinberg et al. (Proceedings of the ...

      Weighted boolean formula games 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Wagner, K. W. (2007)
      We introduce a new class of succinct games, called weighted boolean formula games. Here, each player has a set of boolean formulas he wants to get satisfied. The boolean formulas of all players involve a ground set of ...

      Weighted Boolean formula games 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Wagner, K. W. (2015)
      We introduce weighted boolean formula games (WBFG) as a new class of succinct games. Each player has a set of boolean formulas she wants to get satisfied

      Voronoi games on cycle graphs 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard; Lesta, Vicky Papadopoulou; Schoppmann, F. (2008)
      In a Voronoi game, each of a finite number of players chooses a point in some metric space. The utility of a player is the total measure of all points that are closer to him than to any other player, where points equidistant ...

      Impact of timing on linearizability in counting networks 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Papatriantafilou, Marina; Tsigas, Philippas (IEEE, 1997)
      Counting networks form a new class of distributed, low-contention data structures, made up of interconnected balancers and are suitable for solving a variety of multiprocessor synchronization problems that can be expressed ...
