This paper proposes an architecture for optimized resource allocation in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)-based cloud systems. Current IaaS systems are usually unaware of the hosted application’s requirements and therefore allocate resources independently of its needs, which can significantly impact performance for distributed data-intensive applications. To address this resource allocation p...

population growth as well as development of industry and agriculture has increased the demand and competition over water resources in large watersheds especially in zayandeh rud basin and severely affected on agriculture and environment sectors. hence, providing a best scenario for the allocation of water in this basin is essential. in this study, due to alternating periods of wet, drought and ...

policy makers have taken into less consideration the market mechanism in the allocation of water resources, contrary to its long role and precedent in allocation goods and resources. the market mechanism is used in many regions of world for water management to increase the water scarcity certainly, but historical form of acquiring water resources didn’t lead to a proper market so economic price...

Heterogeneous radar sensor networks (HRSNs) are gaining popularity due to the superior detection performance compared to conventional homogeneous radar sensor networks. In this paper, under the assumption that radar sensors perform differently in target detection and energy management, we propose optimized energy allocation scheme based on different fusion approaches for both single moving targ...

[1] The adjustment of local vegetation conditions to limiting soil water by either maximizing productivity or minimizing water stress has been an area of central interest in ecohydrology since Eagleson’s classic study. This work has typically been limited to consider one-dimensional exchange and cycling within patches and has not incorporated the effects of lateral redistribution of soil moistu...

In this paper we propose an approach for optimization of energy consumption in sensor networks. Compared to existing approaches the proposed approach takes into account the energy for data communication between nodes in task allocation. In the proposed approach firstly the tasks are allocated to sensor nodes by DPSO Algorithm, while the cost function including network constraint is optimum. Per...

abstract- inadequate water supply is the major problem for agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions. thus, effective management should be considered for water resources planning. in this research, a model was provided which is able to estimate optimal land and water allocation in the doroodzan irrigation network. optimal water management model was used at farm level to evaluate different defic...
