This paper reviews the vital health care resource allocation in integrated systems and contrasts it with the market-based health care resource provisions. It is believed that among several alternatives a method of centrally managed needs-based resource distribution is best suited for universally appraised code of “equal treatment of equals”. However, the main problem hides in identification and...

In this paper, a cost saving based allocation strategy for infrastructure resource allocation is proposed to support the business service in cloud computing environment. In a typical enterprise cloud system, it needs the capability to automatically allocate resources by matching resource requirements upon resource availability, while taking both load-balance and cost saving into account. On the...

in this paper, the energy efficient resource allocation in noma-based heterogeneous cellular network(hcn) systems is investigated. since energy consumption and its limitations is one of the important challenges in fifth generation of cellular networks (5g), we propose a resource allocation problem which allocates power and subcarriers to multiple users to achieve the best system energy efficien...

In many managerial applications, situations frequently occur when a fixed cost is used in constructing the common platform of an organization, and needs to be shared by all related entities, or decision making units (DMUs).
