Scheduling problems are NP – Hard combinatorial optimization problems, since many algorithms have been developed which offers new promising insights for solving resource allocation problems. Considering the problems faced in automobile repair shops, who sets the customer due dates of the car based on processing time, jobs already waiting for processing and mechanic available time. Also the work...

The rapid rise in popularity of multimedia applications, such as VoIP, IPTV and Video Conferencing, intensifies the need to consider resource management for user satisfaction. Furthermore, improving Quality of Experience (QoE) in Software Defined Networks (SDNs) services is one of the important issues to be addressed by provisioning optimum resource management. In this paper, resource allocatio...

In practice, many problems can be modeled by resource allocation problems. However, even if their aim is often to identify a resource distribution maximizing a given objective, different approaches exist. Many solving techniques only focus on the best resource distribution. Such approaches consider resources from one side and agents on the other side. It is the case for all centralized techniqu...

the problem we investigate deals with the optimal assignment of resources to the activities of a stochastic project network. we seek to minimize the expected cost of the project include sum of resource utilization costs and lateness costs. we assume that the work content required by the activities follows an exponential distribution. the decision variables of the model are the allocated resourc...

background priority setting in healthcare is a key determinant of health system performance. however, there is no widely accepted priority setting evaluation framework. we reviewed literature with the aim of developing and proposing a framework for the evaluation of macro and meso level healthcare priority setting practices.   methods we systematically searched econlit, pubmed, cinahl, and ebsc...

background: assessment of hospitals’ performance in achieving its goals is a basic necessity. measuring the efficiency of hospitals in order to boost resource productivity in healthcare organizations is extremely important. the aim of this study was to measure technical efficiency and determining status of resource allocation in some university hospitals, in tehran, iran.   methods : this study...
