The resource allocation in Grid computing system needs to be scalable, reliable and smart. It should also be adaptable to change its allocation mechanism depending upon the environment and user’s requirements. Therefore, a scalable and optimized approach for resource allocation where the system can adapt itself to the changing environment and the fluctuating resources is essentially needed. In ...

Wireless bandwidth is a scarce resource in a cellular mobile network. As such, it is important to effectively allocate bandwidth to each cell such that the overall system performance is optimized. Channel allocation strategies have been extensively studied for voice communications in cellular networks. However, for data dissemination applications, studies on bandwidth allocation have thus far b...

[1] We present an interdisciplinary approach to attach economic value to model certainty. The central theme of this paper concerns valuing certainty in water resource management, specifically resource allocation. A conceptual framework is developed to study (1) a hypothetical scenario of three water users attempting to mutually agree on allocation of some fixed amount of water amongst themselve...

The highly contested and complex issue of transboundary water governance calls for rethinking fairness and equity in the allocation of water between sovereign nation-states. This paper provokes ideas about the problem of allocation and access as it is stated in the Earth System Governance Project. It starts out arguing that the problem of allocation in the Middle East is framed by both upstream...

We aimed to evaluate the importance of modulations of within-tree carbon (C) allocation by water and low-temperature stress for the prediction of annual forest growth with a process-based model. A new C allocation scheme was implemented in the CASTANEA model that accounts for lagged and direct environmental controls of C allocation. Different approaches (static vs dynamic) to modelling C alloca...

Increasing competition for water across sectors increases the importance of the river basin as the appropriate unit of analysis to address the challenges facing water resources management; and modeling at this scale can provide essential information for policymakers in their resource allocation decisions. This paper introduces an integrated economic–hydrologic modeling framework that accounts f...

Water-filling is the power allocation that maximizes the parallel-channel eigen-MIMO informationtheoretic capacity. However, for practical designs, designing for error performance is also important. The overall uncoded error rate, in a system with water-filled eigen-channels using digital modulation, degrades through the errors in the data that uses the weaker eigen-channels. This is because in...
