Reservation parking is a new type of that allows users to obtain space for an appropriate time slot by reservation. This paper pioneers high degree-of-freedom reservation strategy and rules commercial districts in which can arbitrarily select slots. The nested logit applied build revenue model analyzing the cost, demand, price factors sequentially according user’s choice behavior. lot game regi...

Emergency departments (ED) in hospitals are experiencing severe crowding and prolonged patient waiting times. A significant contributing factor is boarding delays where admitted patients are held in ED (occupying critical resources) until an inpatient bed is identified and readied in the admit wards. Recent research has suggested that if the hospital admissions of ED patients can be predicted d...

This paper argues that a risk averse of workers after-tax reservation wage the difference between her reservation wage and the tax needed to fund the unemployment insurance system when liquidity constraint binds exists and it is unique. The optimality of unemployment insurance based on the responsiveness of reservation wage to unemployment benefit shows the disincentive effect, i.e. higher unem...

In cloud computing, provisioning an optimal resource to consumer gets more and more crucial. Cloud computing consumers are able to use the set of computing resources by net. Cloud providers will receive some amount for these computational resources depending on usage of cloud resource. The provisional resource plans are reservation and also on demand. The computing resources will be provided ba...

This contribution focuses on the cost-effective management of the combined use of two procurement options: the short-term option is given by a spot market with random price, whereas the long-term alternative is characterized by a multi period capacity reservation contract with fixed purchase price and reservation level. A reservation cost, proportional with the reservation level, has to be paid...

We model firm pricing given consumers follow simple reservation price rules. Such reservation rules are rational when consumers are sufficiently impatient. The equilibrium exhibits price dispersion in pure strategies, with lower price firms earning higher profits. The range of price dispersion increases with the number of firms: the highest price is the monopoly one, while the lowest price tend...

The generation of electricity by solar and wind power plants depends on natural conditions, therefore there are problems with their participation in the process balancing modes electric systems (EPS). It is difficult for them to carry out forecasted approved hourly schedule next day specified accuracy. UES forced keep a capacity reserve compensate deviations renewable energy sources (EPS) from ...

We deal with a reservation-based cloud service broker (R-CSB). The main role of the R-CSB is to provide application execution services or Softwareas-a-Service. The R-CSB makes a profit by an arbitrage between cloud service consumers and providers, and service fees from the consumers. In this paper, we first present detail concepts and architecture of the R-CSB. Also, to reduce the VM leasing co...

Recent studies take two different approaches to admission control. Some argue that due scalability limitations, using a signalingprotocol to set up reservations is too costly and CPU-intensive for routers. Instead, end users should apply various end-to-endmeasurement-based mechanisms to run admission control. Several other proposals have recommended to reduce the number ofreservatio...

Pricing is one of the biggest challenges facing the next generation of the Internet. Even if flat rate pricing is one of the main reasons for the success of the Internet, the only way to prevent network congestion and to differentiate services is to adopt usage-based pricing schemes. We review in this paper, from a mathematical modeling point of view, the pricing schemes without resource reserv...
