Computer resource allocation represents a significant challenge particularly for multiprocessor systems, which consist of shared computing resources to be allocated among co-runner processes and threads. While an efficient resource allocation would result in a highly efficient and stable overall multiprocessor system and individual thread performance, ineffective poor resource allocation causes...

This study project is related to resource allocation of contract funds for the U.S.DOT/Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Capital Project Management Oversight (CPMO) Program. Contract proposals exceed the budget cap that FTA is allowed to obligate for oversight consultants in 15 regions in the U.S. An Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used for developing a resource allocation methodology...

We proposed a novel joint sub channel and resource allocation for the two-tier OFDMA network. The multi-cell OFDMA network not only has to control the interference to the users, but also has to coordinate the cross-tier interference. A resource allocation scheme for cross-channel Femto and Macro is proposed, aiming to maximize the capacity. We formulate this joint optimization for both uplink a...

This paper considers a cooperative Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-based cognitive radio network, where the primary system leases a fraction of its subcarriers to the secondary system in exchange for the secondary users (SUs) acting as decode-and-forward relays. Our aim is to determine an fair resource allocation strategy among the primary users and SUs as so to maximize the n...

With the generalization of the Cloud, software providers can distribute their software as a service without investing in large infrastructure. However, without an effective resource allocation method, their operation cost can grow quickly, hindering the profitability of the service. This is the case for BPM as a Service providers that want to handle hundreds of customers with a given quality of...

This paper addresses the problem of interference aware resource allocation for OFDMA based hybrid hierarchical wireless networks. We develop two resource allocation algorithms considering the impact of wireless interference constraints using a weighted SINR conflict graph to quantify the interference among the various nodes: (1) interference aware routing using maximum concurrent flow optimizat...

Dynamic resource allocation optimization model will be required to be perfect, and swarm intelligence processing model of dealing with dynamic resource allocation optimization problem is proposed in this paper. By establishing a mathematical model of quantum game theory a game theory based on the price mechanism is explored. Further, through finding the group behavior in swarm intelligence prot...

In grid environment, based on economic model, grid users who submit jobs and grid resource providers who provide resources have different motivations. Due to autonomy of both in gird users and resource providers, their objectives often conflict. This paper, review the Literature studies and techniques to solve the grid resource allocation problem. The problem of allocating resources in Grid env...

An operational economic model for radio resource allocation in the downlink of a multi-cell WCDMA1 system is developed in this paper, and a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based approach is proposed for its solution. Firstly, we develop an economic model for resource allocation that considers the utility of the provided service, the acceptance probability of the service by the users and the r...

Although a mobile cloud computing paradigm has obtained significant attentions from research community, we note that most of work is based on an ad hoc fashion. Furthermore, little work has shown a model-based cost optimization of offloading. Mobile cloud computing may instead be holistically analyzed and systematically designed as distributed solutions to some global optimization problems. Suc...
