Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for optimally scheduling computations that involve multiple factors, the cost of evaluations and probabilities of success of which are known. For example, a methodology is provided for determining an optimal schedule of a multi-factor test in sub-quadratic time. While the methodology has wide ranging application, we illustrate a particular applicability to a security application involving multi-factor authentication in a cloud computing environment, as well as applicability to the contact center agent scheduling.
