We study the fairness of dynamic resource allocation problem under α-fairness criterion. recognize two different objectives that naturally arise in this problem: well-understood slot-fairness objective aims to ensure at every timeslot, and less explored horizon-fairness across utilities accumulated over a time horizon. argue comes lower price terms social welfare. with regret as performance met...

Cloud computing is the next generation of technology which unifies everything into one. It is an on demand service because it offers dynamic flexible resource allocation for reliable and guaranteed services in pay as-you-use manner to public. In Cloud computing multiple cloud users can request number of cloud services simultaneously. So there must be a provision that all resources are made avai...

Dynamic memory allocation is an important mechanism used in operating systems. An efficient dynamic memory allocator can improve the performance of operating systems. In wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes have miniature computing device, small memory space and very limited battery power. Therefore, it is important that sensor operating systems operate efficiently in terms of energy consumpt...

Coordination for dynamic task allocation based on available resources is a very challenging research issue in disaster environments with time, space and communication constraints. In addition, the space and communication constraints and the dynamic features of disaster environments make an extra difficulty to achieve efficient coordination through centralised coordination approaches, which requ...

This paper presents dynamic sector allocation, clustered sector allocation, and background garbage ~ h ~ ~ that are key algorithms in solid-state files (SSFs) using flash EEPROMs. Dynamic sector allocation resembles a log-structured file system, which sequentially writes all data modifications to the SSF. Clustered sector allocation is a technique for using the dynamic sector allocation mechani...

With the increasing demands for radio spectrum, techniques are being explored that would allow dynamic access of spectrum bands that are underutilized. In this regard, a new paradigm called dynamic spectrum access is being investigated where wireless service providers (WSPs) would dynamically seek more spectrum from the under-utilized licensed bands when and where they need without interfering ...

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is designed to provide an automatic mechanism for the allocation, configuration and management of IP addresses and TCP/IP protocol stack parameters of computers and devices in IP networks. The important feature of DHCP is a “dynamic allocation” mechanism, which assigns an IP address to a client for a limited period of time (called a lease time). Theref...

Most routers in on-chip interconnection networks (OCINs) have multiple virtual channels (VCs) to mitigate the effects of head-of-line blocking. Multiple VCs necessitate VC allocation schemes since packets or flows must compete for channels when there are more flows than virtual channels at a link. Conventional dynamic VC allocation, however, raises two critical issues. First, it still suffers f...
