in dea to obtain an efficient representation in ccr andbcc models for each dmu only one linear plan would be solved; however,it is possible in centralized resource allocation (cra) to solve allthe dmus by one linear planning. in this paper, models of centralizedresource allocation in input-oriented and in dynamic case will be offeredand by using dynamic sbm, the representation of dmus in each t...

with entrance spirituality and god to management and organization field, as 21st century challenge, organization’s managers and leaders especially educational institutions must confront with new phenomena. spiritual leader’s role to incite and encourage human resource with use of spiritual vision and establishment of cultural context based on human values, to foster empowered, high productivity...

Computer simulations are alternatives to the scientific method in domains where physical experiments are unfeasible or impossible. When the amount of memory and processing speed required is large, simulations are executed in distributed memory High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. These systems are usually shared among its users. A resource manager with a batch scheduler is used to fairly a...

BACKGROUND Japan has a high prevalence of adult T-cell leukaemia (ATL), especially in the Kyushu/Okinawa region. Regional differences in prevalence might cause regional differences in physicians' experiences and the efficiency of care-resource use. This study investigated regional differences in the performance of bone marrow transplantation (BMT), outcome and care-resource use in patients with...

In this paper we survey results of two-player games on graphs and Markov decision processes with parity, mean-payoff and energy objectives, and the combination of mean-payoff and energy objectives with parity objectives. These problems have applications in verification and synthesis of reactive systems in resource-constrained environments.

Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6714 is a unicellular cyanobacterium closely related to the popular model organism Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. A combination of PacBio SMRT and Illumina GAIIx data results in a highly accurate finished genome sequence that provides a reliable resource for further comparative analyses.

Prevention of denial-of-service attacks is indispensable for distributed agent systems to execute securely. To implement the required defense mechanisms, it is necessary to have support for resource control, i.e., accounting and limiting the consumption of resources like CPU, memory, and threads. Java is the predominant implementation language for mobile agent systems, even though resource cont...

One of the significant challenges for Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) hosting “virtual desktop cloud” (VDC) infrastructures is to deliver a satisfactory quality of experience (QoE) to the user. In order to maximize the user QoE without expensive resource overprovisioning, there is a need to design and verify resource allocation schemes for a comprehensive set of VDC configurations. In this paper...

Compute grid is hardware and software infrastructure providing dependable and consistent computing power. This platform is suitable for running high performance parallel applications which can efficiently use parallel processors of heterogeneous resources in the grid. In order to achieve this, the grid middleware should have a metascheduler called grid resource broker for optimized utilization ...

In this paper we investigate how network management and routing can be appropriately combined to provide effective support to advanced network infrastructures. The work belongs to the research field dealing with network architectures in which resource management is achieved through a combination of Quality of Service mechanisms, Traffic Engineering and Mon-
