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...

Resource allocation in computing clusters is traditionally centralized, which limits the cluster scale. Effective resource allocation in a network of computing clusters may enable building larger computing infrastructures. We consider this problem as a novel application for multiagent learning (MAL). We propose a MAL algorithm and apply it for optimizing online resource allocation in cluster ne...

Resource management in clusters traditionally uses centralized approaches, which restricts the cluster scale. To expand this limit, we develop a multi-agent approach to sharing resources across clusters in a decentralized manner. We organize shared clustered into an overlay network and formulate resource sharing in such a network as a distributed sequential resource allocation problem (DSRAP). ...

The exponential growth in the usage of mobile networks along with the increasing number of User Equipments (UEs) are exacerbating the scarcity of frequency resources. Dense frequency reuse on the downlink of multiuser Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access networks leads to severe Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) problems. Resource and power allocation techniques are required to alleviate t...

With a few exceptions, most of the research dealing with power allocation, and more recently power/rate allocation in DS-CDMA based networks has concentrated on centralized resource allocation algorithms for cellular systems where the base station keeps track of the service requirements and is thus responsible for the management of network resources. Adhoc WLANS, howeveq are configured as peer-...

This study aims to investigate the effects of the centralized allocation and optimization of Taiwan’s railway resources (personnel and equipment) on the overall operational efficiency of its railway industry, based on the concept of two-phase centralized allocation and reallocation of resources. A Taiwan railway data analysis conducted in 2011 showed that the high overall output due to the effi...

Application layer networks are software architectures that allow the provisioning of services requiring a huge amount of resources by connecting large numbers of individual computers like in Grid or Peer to Peer computing Controlling the resource allocation in those net works is nearly impossible using a centralized arbitrator The network simulation project CATNET will evaluate a decentralized ...
