  1. Abstract This paper considers the basic problem of scheduling jobs online with preemption to maximize the number of jobs completed by their deadline onmidentical machines. The main result is anO(1) competitive deterministic algorithm for any number of machines$$m >1$$ m > 1

  2. Motivated by demand-responsive parking pricing systems, we consider posted-price algorithms for the online metric matching prob- lem. We give an O(log n)-competitive posted-price randomized algorithm in the case that the metric space is a line. In particular, in this setting we show how to implement the ubiquitous guess-and-double technique using prices.

  3. We consider the online transportation problem set in a metric space containing parking garages of various capacities. Cars arrive over time, and must be assigned to an unfull parking garage upon their arrival. The objective is to minimize the aggregate distance that cars have to travel to their assigned parking garage. We show that the natural greedy algorithm, augmented with garages of k ≥ 3 times the capacity, is (1 + 2/k-2)-competitive.
