Cloud computing is considered to be a new service provider technology for users and businesses. However, the cloud environment is facing a number of challenges. Resource allocation in a way that is optimum for users and cloud providers is difficult because of lack of data sharing between them. On the other hand, job scheduling is a basic issue and at the same time a big challenge in reaching hi...

An efficient resource allocation scheme in resource-limited wireless network is important for QoS of multimedia applications. In this paper a distributed cross-layer design for video streaming is proposed to guarantee QoS level and fairness of different users, and to increase the total video throughputs of networks. Bandwidth allocation in MAC layer and rate adaptation in application layer are ...

This paper studies the wireless resource management and scheduling of synergistic relay system link layer. In order to optimize power of collaborative communications relay node and make other wireless resources allocation rational, this paper use a single cell relay system as a model to study efficient optimal allocation and cooperation strategies of resource in relay system. First, this paper ...

In grid environment based on economic model, grid users who submit jobs and grid resource providers who provide resources have different motivations. Due to autonomy both in gird users and resource providers, their objectives often conflict. This paper researches grid resource allocation problem by using non-cooperative game theory. Combined with economic grid model, two resource allocation mec...

Simultaneous routing and resource allocation has been considered in wireless networks for its performance improvement. In this paper we propose a cross-layer optimization framework for worst-case queue length minimization in some type of FDMA based wireless networks, in which the the data routing and the power allocation problem are jointly optimized with Fuzzy distributed H∞ control strategy ....

We obtain the (Shannon) optimal power and rate allocation strategies for the uplink on single cell systems. For an N user system, we show that successive decoding which is independent of channel state is optimal in the Shannon sense. Using this result, we frame the resource allocation problem as a simple convex problem in N variables. We divide the vectors space formed by all possible channel s...

QoS-Driven Adaptive Resource Allocation for Mobile Wireless Communications and Networks. (December 2006) Jia Tang, B.S. Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, China Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Xi Zhang Quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees will play a critically important role in future mobile wireless networks. In this dissertation, we study a set of QoS-driven resource allocation problems for m...

Much of the project scheduling literature treats task durations as deterministic. In reality, however, task durations are subject to considerable uncertainty and that uncertainty can be influenced by the resources assigned. The purpose of this paper is to provide the means for program managers (who may have responsibility for multiple projects) to optimally allocate resources from common resour...
