Abstract

The NP-Completeness of the selection problem of vertical migration candidates is shown by reducing it to the NP-complete knapsack problem. Based on approximation algorithms for the latter problem a new algorithm is presented, which takes into account the call relations between functions in a complex system. Then the developed algorithm is applied to the UNIX operating system as a representative for complex systems.
