We study the efficiency of mechanisms for allocating a divisible resource. Given scalar signals submitted by all users, such mechanism decides fraction resource that each user will receive and payment be collected from her. Users are self-interested aim to maximize their utility (defined as value they minus payment). Starting with seminal work Johari Tsitsiklis, long list papers studied price a...

This paper discusses the problem of allocation of constrained renewable resource to splittable activities of a single project. If the activities of stochastic projects can be split, these projects may be completed in shorter time when the available resource is constrained. It is assumed that the resource amount required to accom-plish each activity is a discrete quantity and deterministic. The ...

An approach to constrained resource allocation for real time software components executing on nondeterministic hardware is considered. A model for resource consumption based on execution rate is investigated together with an eventbased measurement and parameter estimation scheme. Finally, an algorithm for real time constrained optimization of resources is presented together with results from a ...

In the construction industry, it is of great importance for project managers (PM) to consider resource allocation arrangement problem based on different perspectives. this situation, management resources in becomes a challenge. Generally speaking, there are many objectives that need be optimized conflict with each other, including time, cost, and energy consumption (EC). This paper proposed mul...

In this paper, it is supposed that a project can be shown as a metagraph. The duration of activities are discrete random variables with known probability function, also one kind of consumable and constrained resource is required to execute each activity of the project.The objective of this paper is to maximize the probability of completion of stochastic metagraph before the due date of the proj...

This paper examines the demand for on-board computers in trucking, distinguishing between their incentiveand resource-allocation-improving capabilities. I find that monitoring’s incentive benefits are high when perquisitetaking is attractive to drivers, driver effort is important, and verifying drivers’ actions to insurers is valuable. These results are consistent with agency theory and suggest...
