Visualizing resource allocation tasks

Visualization in Resource Allocation Tasks

Allocation of resources whether man power or tools are ubiquitous tasks in factories hospitals airline and communication network companies It is also an example of many decision making problems involving complex and changing criteria It presents unusual challenges to information systems both from modeling and problem solving points of view This paper presents an application of information visua...

Distributed multiagent resource allocation with adaptive preemption for dynamic tasks

In this paper we present an approach for multiagent resource allocation that supports preemption in a fully distributed, cooperative setting (i.e. allowing for resources to be reassigned to agents, as the need arises, even as tasks are currently underway), in a way that copes with dynamic task arrivals.

Joint Scheduling and Resource Allocation for Multiple Video Decoding Tasks

In this paper we propose a joint resource allocation and scheduling algorithm for video decoding on a resourceconstrained system. By decomposing a multimedia task into decoding jobs using quality-driven priority classes, we demonstrate using queuing theoretic analysis that significant power savings can be achieved under small video quality degradation without requiring the encoder to adapt its ...

Bicriteria Resource Allocation Problem in Pert Networks

We develop a bicriteria model for the resource allocation problem in PERT networks, in which the total direct costs of the project as the first objective, and the mean of project completion time as the second objective are minimized. The activity durations are assumed to be independent random variables with either exponential or Erlang distributions, in which the mean of each activity duration ...
