The problem of optimal policy formulation for teams of resource-limited agents in stochastic environments is composed of two strongly-coupled subproblems: a resource allocation problem and a policy optimization problem. We show how to combine the two problems into a single constrained optimization problem that yields optimal resource allocations and policies that are optimal under these allocat...

In federated learning (FL), devices contribute to the global training by uploading their local model updates via wireless channels. Due limited computation and communication resources, device scheduling is crucial convergence rate of FL. this paper, we propose a joint resource allocation policy maximize accuracy within given total time budget for latency constrained A lower bound on reciprocal ...

The project scheduling and resource allocation problems have been studied using different optimization methods. The resource leveling problem was proposed to reduce the resource fluctuation and was always studied independently resource constraint problem. For example, resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) was proposed to optimize scheduling under resource constraints. This res...

This paper addresses the problem of resource allocation in a multiservice overlapped code division multiple access (OV-CDMA) system. A joint transmission power and overlapping coefficient (transmission rate) allocation strategy is provided via the solution of a constrained convex quadratic optimization problem. The solution of this problem maximizes the aggregate throughput subject to peak tran...

We present a decentralized market-based approach to resource allocation in a heterogeneous overlay network. This resource allocation strategy dynamically assigns resources in an overlay network to requests for service based on current system utilization, thus enabling the system to accommodate fluctuating demand for its resources. Our approach is based on a mathematical model of this resource a...

Resource allocation plays a critical role to enhance the performance of cognitive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) network. However, due to lack the cooperation between cognitive network and primary network, the channel state information (CSI) between cognitive radio (CR) user and primary user (PU) could not be estimated precisely. In this work, a resource allocation problem ov...

Resource allocation to different functions is central in life-history theory. Plasticity of functional traits allows clonal plants to regulate their resource allocation to meet changing environments. In this study, biomass allocation traits of clonal plants were categorized into absolute biomass for vegetative growth vs. for reproduction, and their relative ratios based on a data set including ...

Network virtualisation is a promising technique for a better future Internet by allowing for network resource sharing. However, resource sharing requires that virtual nodes and links be embedded onto substrate nodes and links (virtual network embedding), and thereafter the allocated resources dynamically managed throughout the lifetime of the virtual network (dynamic resource allocation). Since...
