Abstract— One of the major concerns for a 3-D package is to deal with power supply noise. Decoupling Capacitances (decap) allocation is a powerful technique to suppress power supply noise. In this work we integrate noise analysis and decap estimation in the floorplanning process. We also use the global routers results directly to estimate congestion and tight couple global routing with floorpla...

We describe a new algorithm for rate allocation within the individual switches of an ATM network implementing a rate-based congestion control algorithm for Available Bit-Rate (ABR) traac. The algorithm performs an allocation in (1) time, allowing it to be applied to ATM switches supporting a large number of virtual circuits. When the total available capacity or the requests of the individual co...

Considering the hub airports are traffic transfer points, the congestion is easily happened. The cost caused by congestion will rise significantly. The hub-and-spoke airline network optimization model with congestion cost is designed. In the actual operations of airlines, such problem is difficult to be solved by using the classical optimization methods. This paper presents a Particle Swarm Opt...

This paper addresses the problem of fair allocation of bandwidth resources on lossy channels and heterogeneous networks. It discusses more particularly the ability of window-based congestion control to support non-congestion related losses. We investigate methods for efficient packet loss recovery by retransmission, and builds on explicit congestion control mechanisms to decouple the packet los...

An explicit rate indication scheme for congestion avoidance in computer and telecommunication networks is proposed. The sources monitor their load and provide the information periodically to the switches. The switches, in turn, compute the load level and ask the sources to adjust their rates up or down. The scheme achieves high link utilization, fair allocation of rates among contending sources...

Despite the growing use of decision analytic modelling in cost-effectiveness analysis, there is a relatively small literature on what constitutes good practice in decision analysis. The aim of this paper is to consider the concept of 'validity' and 'quality' in this area of evaluation, and to suggest a framework by which quality can be demonstrated on the part of the analyst and assessed by the...

BACKGROUND Priority setting is necessary in current healthcare services. Discussion of fair process has highlighted the value of developing reasons for allocation decisions on the basis of experience gained from real cases. AIM To identify the reasons that those with experience of real decision-making concerning resource allocation think relevant in deciding on the priority of a new but expen...

Traditional cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) assumes that program costs and benefits scale linearly with investment-an unrealistic assumption for epidemic control programs. This paper combines epidemic modeling with optimization techniques to determine the optimal allocation of a limited resource for epidemic control among multiple noninteracting populations. We show that the optimal resource ...

Abstract—Cloud Computing is used everywhere because it provides on demand access of resources and reduces cost, it offers dynamic allocation of resources for guaranteed and reliable services. Users store their data on a single virtual server, when user wants to access any data that data might be changed or modified by unauthorized people for malicious purpose because user’s do not have direct c...
