Resource Allocation for Epidemic Control in Metapopulations
Deployment of limited resources is an issue of major importance for decision-making in crisis events. This is especially true for large-scale outbreaks of infectious diseases. Little is known when it comes to identifying the most efficient way of deploying scarce resources for control when disease outbreaks occur in different but interconnected regions. The policy maker is frequently faced with...
متن کاملDistributed Resource Allocation for Epidemic control
We present a distributed resource allocation strategy to control an epidemic outbreak in a networked population based on a Distributed Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (D-ADMM) algorithm. We consider a linearized SusceptibleInfected-Susceptible (SIS) epidemic spreading model in which agents in the network are able to allocate vaccination resources (for prevention) and antidotes (for ...
متن کاملResource allocation: the main problem in infection control in intensive care units of hospitals
Background and Purpose: Nosocomial infections, especially those occurring in intensive care units (ICUs), are one of the major health problems in every community. Nosocomial infections are associated with increased mortality rate and high treatment costs. Effective control of these infections essentially depends on the knowledge of healthcare providers regarding the detection and erad...

متن کاملResource Allocation Strategies for Multizone Temperature Control
Resource allocation, a problem of increasing importance in control theory (Murray, 2003), involves splitting some quantity and dedicating appropriate proportions of it to optimize some quantity of interest. In “dynamic resource allocation,” allocations are inputs to dynamical system and its response determines the quality of the allocation. For this, feedback information is typically used to re...
