The effect of the choice of control allocation scheme upon individual control effector rate demands is examined. Three previously reported and one new variation of control allocation schemes are described and compared. The new allocation scheme exploits the maximum attainable moment-rates of a given control effector configuration and is called moment rate allocation. The bases of comparison are...

The heterogeneous wireless networks where coexistence of different Radio access technology (RAT) are widely deployed for various services and support various traffic demand, channel allocation. Under heterogeneous wireless networks, a user can send data through a single or multi RATs simultaneous. The objective of this paper is to choose the optimal bandwidth for the services and power allocati...

Task allocation is a key problem, which has a direct influence on the system performance in all kinds of distributed systems. This paper focuses on a specific kind of task allocation in swarm robotic systems, where the tasks are associated with specific time constraints. The paper presents a self-organized task allocation strategy, which aims to assign robot swarms to time-constrained tasks in ...

In a partition model, we show that each maximin individually rational and ex-ante maximin efficient allocation of a single good economy is implementable as a maximin equilibrium. When there are more than one good, we introduce three conditions. If none of the three conditions is satisfied, then a maximin individually rational and ex-ante maximin efficient allocation may not be implementable. Ho...

In this paper we present a novel and computationally efficient waterfilling algorithm for multiuser OFDM. This algorithm is based on the multiuser waterfilling theorem and determines the subcarrier allocation for a multiple access OFDM system. This approach maximizes the total bitrate under the constraints of user-individual power budgets. Once the subcarrier allocation has been established, th...

In many embedded systems, such as imaging systems, the system has a single designated purpose, and same threads are executed repeatedly. Profiling thread behavior, allows the system to allocate each thread its resources in a way that improves overall system performance. We study an online resource allocation problem, where a resource manager simultaneously allocates resources (exploration), lea...

The FreeBSD project has been engaged in ongoing work to provide scalable support for multi-processor computer systems since version 5. Sufficient progress has been made that the C library’s malloc(3) memory allocator is now a potential bottleneck for multi-threaded applications running on multiprocessor systems. In this paper, I present a new memory allocator that builds on the state of the art...
