Previous research has shown that housing insecurity contributes to animal relinquishment and that tenants with dogs face disadvantages in the rental market. Still, little is known about how dog owners navigate rental markets, nor how landlords and property managers perceive dogs and other pets. This case study reports on in-depth interviews with younger tenants with dogs and on open-ended surve...

In cloud computing environments, multiple tenants are often co-located on the same multi-processor system. Thus, preventing information leakage between tenants is crucial. While the hypervisor enforces software isolation, shared hardware, such as the CPU cache or memory bus, can leak sensitive information. For security reasons, shared memory between tenants is typically disabled. Furthermore, t...

This paper explores situations where tenants in public houses, in a specific neighborhood, are given the legislated right to buy the houses they live in or can choose to remain in their houses and pay the regulated rent. This type of legislation has been passed in many European countries in the last 30–35 years (the U.K. Housing Act 1980 is a leading example). The main objective with this type ...

The malicious usage of the cloud platform, untrusted providers, and untrusted perception from the users all contribute to the difficult application of the cloud services. In order to solve these issues, a trust evaluation method of the cloud service based on user perception is proposed. Based on fuzzy set theory, the behaviors of nodes in the cloud platform are quantitated, and the trust values...

Residential location choice modeling is one of the substantial components of land use and transportation models. While numerous aggregated mathematical and statistical approaches have been developed to model the residence choice behavior of households, disaggregated approaches such as the agent-based modeling have shown interesting capabilities. In this paper, a novel agentbased approach is dev...

Systems for processing big data—e.g., Hadoop, Spark, and massively parallel databases—need to run workloads on behalf of multiple tenants simultaneously. The abundant disk-based storage in these systems is usually complemented by a smaller, but much faster, cache. Cache is a precious resource: Tenants who get to use cache can see two orders of magnitude performance improvement. Cache is also a ...

Rural enterprise hubs are physical infrastructures designed to help rural businesses access tangible and intangible benefits. They generally operate within two main business models: ‘Honey Pots’ (i.e. targeting business-to-customer tenants) ‘Hives’ business‐to‐business tenants). This paper focuses on the former type, Honey Pot hubs, which best suited tenants who sell their products/services dir...

The development of technology parks in Malaysia creates the expectations that they will contribute significantly to the industrialization. Therefore, there is increasing number of research conducted on technology parks performance. However, there is still uncertainty about whether technology parks are achieving their goals or not and exactly what their impact is on their tenants. To contribute ...

 This is the second case study report from the Ipsos MORI and Cambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research work programme for the National Housing Federation. It is based on interviews with 15 housing associations over the period January and February 2014.  Overall, associations see themselves and their tenants as effectively managing the impacts of welfare reform, particularly the size...

The paper addresses a variant of the stable marriage problem that models a job recruitment problem in which applicants are strictly ordered by priority but their preference lists may have ties. Some applicants may hold a post initially. These posts may be assigned to other applicants if their holders get another post. By reducing the problem to a sequence of maximum cardinality bipartite matchi...
