  text: "The famous $k$-Server Problem covers plenty of resource allocation scenarios,
    and several variations have been studied extensively for decades. However, to
    the best of our knowledge, no research has considered the problem if the servers
    are not identical and requests can express which specific servers should serve
    them. Therefore, we present a new model generalizing the $k$-Server Problem by
    *preferences* of the requests and proceed to study it in a uniform metric space
    for deterministic online algorithms (the special case of paging).\r\n\r\nIn our
    model, requests can either demand to be answered by any server (*general requests*)
    or by a specific one (*specific requests*). If only general requests appear, the
    instance is one of the original $k$-Server Problem, and a lower bound for the
    competitive ratio of $k$ applies. If only specific requests appear, a solution
    with a competitive ratio of $1$ becomes trivial since there is no freedom regarding
    the servers' movements. Perhaps counter-intuitively, we show that if both kinds
    of requests appear, the lower bound raises to $2k-1$.\r\n\r\nWe study deterministic
    online algorithms in uniform metrics and present two algorithms. The first one
    has an adaptive competitive ratio dependent on the frequency of specific requests.
    It achieves a worst-case competitive ratio of $3k-2$ while it is optimal when
    only general or only specific requests appear (competitive ratio of $k$ and $1$,
    respectively). The second has a fixed close-to-optimal worst-case competitive
    ratio of $2k+14$. For the first algorithm, we show a lower bound of $3k-2$, while
    the second algorithm has a lower bound of $2k-1$ when only general requests appear.\r\n
    \   \r\nThe two algorithms differ in only one behavioral rule for each server
    that significantly influences the competitive ratio. Each server acting according
    to the rule allows approaching the worst-case lower bound, while it implies an
    increased lower bound for $k$-Server instances. In other words, there is a trade-off
    between performing well against instances of the $k$-Server Problem and instances
    containing specific requests. We also show that no deterministic online algorithm
    can be optimal for both kinds of instances simultaneously."

  text: " We consider a natural extension to the metric uncapacitated Facility Location
    Problem (FLP) in which requests ask for different commodities out of a finite
    set \\( S \\) of commodities.\r\n  Ravi and Sinha (SODA 2004) introduced the model
    as the \\emph{Multi-Commodity Facility Location Problem} (MFLP) and considered
    it an offline optimization problem.\r\n  The model itself is similar to the FLP:
    i.e., requests are located at points of a finite metric space and the task of
    an algorithm is to construct facilities and assign requests to facilities while
    minimizing the construction cost and the sum over all assignment distances.\r\n
    \ In addition, requests and facilities are heterogeneous; they request or offer
    multiple commodities out of $S$.\r\n  A request has to be connected to a set of
    facilities jointly offering the commodities demanded by it.\r\n  In comparison
    to the FLP, an algorithm has to decide not only if and where to place facilities,
    but also which commodities to offer at each.\r\n\r\n  To the best of our knowledge
    we are the first to study the problem in its online variant in which requests,
    their positions and their commodities are not known beforehand but revealed over
    time.\r\n  We present results regarding the competitive ratio.\r\n  On the one
    hand, we show that heterogeneity influences the competitive ratio by developing
    a lower bound on the competitive ratio for any randomized online algorithm of
    \\( \\Omega (  \\sqrt{|S|} + \\frac{\\log n}{\\log \\log n}  ) \\) that already
    holds for simple line metrics.\r\n  Here, \\( n \\) is the number of requests.\r\n
    \ On the other side, we establish a deterministic \\( \\mathcal{O}(\\sqrt{|S|}
    \\cdot \\log n) \\)-competitive algorithm and a randomized \\( \\mathcal{O}(\\sqrt{|S|}
    \\cdot \\frac{\\log n}{\\log \\log n} ) \\)-competitive algorithm.\r\n  Further,
    we show that when considering a more special class of cost functions for the construction
    cost of a facility, the competitive ratio decreases given by our deterministic
    algorithm depending on the function."

abstract:
- lang: eng
  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.

  text: We introduce the mobile server problem, inspired by current trends to move
    computational tasks from cloud structures to multiple devices close to the end
    user. An example for this are embedded systems in autonomous cars that communicate
    in order to coordinate their actions. Our model is a variant of the classical
    Page Migration Problem. Moreformally, we consider a mobile server holding a data
    page.The server can move in the Euclidean space (of arbitrary dimension). In every
    round, requests for data items from the page pop up at arbitrary points in the
    space. The requests are served, each at a cost of the distance from the requesting
    point and the server, and the mobile server may move, at a cost D times the distance
    traveled for some constant D . We assume a maximum distance m the server is allowed
    to move per round. We show that no online algorithm can achieve a competitive
    ratio independent of the length of the input sequence in this setting. Hence we
    augment the maximum movement distance of the online algorithms to ( 1 + δ) times
    the maximum distance of the offline solution. We provide a deterministic algorithm
    which is simple to describe and works for multiple variants of our problem. The
    algorithm achieves almost tight competitive ratios independent of the length of
    the input sequence.

  text: 'In this paper we consider a strategic variant of the online facility location
    problem. Given is a graph in which each node serves two roles: it is a strategic
    client stating requests as well as a potential location for a facility. In each
    time step one client states a request which induces private costs equal to the
    distance to the closest facility. Before serving, the clients may collectively
    decide to open new facilities, sharing the corresponding price. Instead of optimizing
    the global costs, each client acts selfishly. The prices of new facilities vary
    between nodes and also change over time, but are always bounded by some fixed
    value α. Both the requests as well as the facility prices are given by an online
    sequence and are not known in advance.We characterize the optimal strategies of
    the clients and analyze their overall performance in comparison to a centralized
    offline solution. If all players optimize their own competitiveness, the global
    performance of the system is O(√α⋅α) times worse than the offline optimum. A restriction
    to a natural subclass of strategies improves this result to O(α). We also show
    that for fixed facility costs, we can find strategies such that this bound further
    improves to O(√α).'
