Towards Parsimonious Resource Allocation in Context-aware N-version Programming

چکیده
Adopting classic redundancy-based fault-tolerant schemes in highly dynamic distributed computing systems does not necessarily result in the anticipated improvement in dependability. This primarily stems from statically predefined redundancy configurations employed within many classic dependability strategies, which as well known may negatively impact the schemes' overall effectiveness. In this paper, a novel dependability strategy is introduced encompassing advanced redundancy management, aiming to autonomously tune its internal configuration in function of disturbances observed. Policies for parsimonious resource allocation are presented thereafter, intent upon increasing the scheme's cost effectiveness without breaching its availability objective. Our experimentation suggests that the suggested solution can achieve a substantial improvement in availability, compared to traditional, static redundancy strategies, and that tuning the adopted degree of redundancy to the actual observed disturbances allows unnecessary resource expenditure to be reduced, therefore enhancing cost-effectiveness.

Resource Allocation through Context-dependent data envelopment analysis
System designs, optimizing resource allocation to organization units, is still being considered as a complicated problem especially when there are multiple inputs and outputs related to a unit. The algorithm presented here will divide the frontiers obtained with DEA. In this way, we investigate a new approach for resource allocation.

Resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in LTE networks. Most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. The great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (MOS) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. In this p...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Resource Allocation through the Classification of DMUs
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric method for assessing relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs). Every single decision-maker with the use of inputs produces outputs. These decision-making units will be defined by the production possibility set. Resource allocation to DMUs is one of the concerns of managers since managers can employ the results of this process to a...

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 ...
