text: We study the classic bin packing problem in a fully-dynamic setting, where
new items can arrive and old items may depart. We want algorithms with low asymptotic
competitive ratio while repacking items sparingly between updates. Formally, each
item i has a movement cost c_i >= 0, and we want to use alpha * OPT bins and incur
a movement cost gamma * c_i, either in the worst case, or in an amortized sense,
for alpha, gamma as small as possible. We call gamma the recourse of the algorithm.
This is motivated by cloud storage applications, where fully-dynamic bin packing
models the problem of data backup to minimize the number of disks used, as well
as communication incurred in moving file backups between disks. Since the set
of files changes over time, we could recompute a solution periodically from scratch,
but this would give a high number of disk rewrites, incurring a high energy cost
and possible wear and tear of the disks. In this work, we present optimal tradeoffs
between number of bins used and number of items repacked, as well as natural extensions
of the latter measure.
