- Additional information
- The theorems of this article were applied by renowned researchers including Yishay Mansour in papers such as "Local Computation Mechanism Design" (Hassidim et al., https://tinyurl.com/y6e4n5os), "Converting Online Algorithms [...]" (Mansour et al., https://tinyurl.com/y5ahxk6e), and "A Game Theoretic Approach for [...]" (Chen et al., https://tinyurl.com/y4bwlrsd). The article impacts the state-of-the-art by analysing a multi-choice randomised load balancing protocol and is the first to consider machines with different capacities. This has the capacity to improve the protocols used in load balancers like the ones offered by NGINX (https://bit.ly/2IZn4vV), a company serving “36.48 percent of all active websites ranked” (Wikipedia).
