This paper proposes a novel Common Radio Resource Management (CRRM) algorithm for heterogeneous scenarios making use of the Hopfield Neural Network methodology, which provides a fast way of finding the optimum resource allocation that minimises a given energy function reflecting specific service and system constraints. The proposed algorithm is applied in a heterogeneous wireless scenario with ...

In this paper we introduce a constrained hybrid PSO algorithm, called Improved Hybrid Particles Swarm Optimization (I-HPSO), in order to find feasible solutions to the problem of resource allocation in the downlink of a multi-cell WCDMA system. An economic model is developed that considers the utility of the provided service, the acceptance probability of the service by the users and the revenu...

We develop a bicriteria model for the resource allocation problem in PERT networks, in which the total direct costs of the project as the first objective, and the mean of project completion time as the second objective are minimized. The activity durations are assumed to be independent random variables with either exponential or Erlang distributions, in which the mean of each activity duration ...

The issue of management and allocation of resources in cloud computing environments, according to the breadth of scale and modern technology implementation, is a complicated issue. Issues such as: the heterogeneity of resources, resource dependencies to each other, the dynamics of the environment, virtualization, workload diversity as well as a wide range of management objectives of cloud servi...

The resource-constrained project scheduling problem is to find a schedule that minimizes the project duration subject to precedence relations and resource constraints. To further account for economic aspects of the project, one may add an objective of cash nature to the problem. In addition, dynamic nature and variations in real world are known to introduce uncertainties into data. Therefore, t...

resource leveling and allocation are two basic categories for project management. the objective of resource allocation is to schedule activities so that a particular resource does not exceed a specific limit in any given project time period, while holding the project duration to a minimum. the resource leveling problem arises when there are sufficient resources available and it is necessary to ...
