This paper deals with the scheduling problem of multi-resource job shop with resource flexibility. In such a problem, each operation may need a combination of more than one resource to be performed and there may be several possible resource combinations for each operation. The scheduling problem consists in both assigning the resources to operations and sequencing the operations on the chosen r...

A critical component of community-based disaster preparedness (CBDP) is a local resource database of suppliers providing physical, information and human resources for use in disaster response. Maintenance of such a database can become a collaborative responsibility among community-based non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and public and private community organisations. In addition to mobilisi...

In this article, we present a protocol for generating a complete (genome-scale) metabolic resource allocation model, as well as a proposal for how to represent such models in the systems biology markup language (SBML). Such models are used to investigate enzyme levels and achievable growth rates in large-scale metabolic networks. Although the idea of metabolic resource allocation studies has be...

Increasing complexity of today’s WSAN applications can rapidly result in reduced real-time capabilities of the underlying sensor nodes. Using preemptive operating systems is one way to retain acceptable reactivity within highly dynamic environments but commonly leads to severe resource management problems. We outline our dynamic hinting approach for maintaining high system reactivity by efficie...

Artificial Immune Recognition System (AIRS) is an immune inspired classifier that is comparable to many popular classifiers. Many researches have been conducted to improve the accuracy of AIRS and to identify the significant components of AIRS that could empower it for better performance. Some of these researches have focused on the resource allocation component of AIRS. This study investigates...

In this paper, we propose Runahead threads on Simultaneous Multithreading processors as a valuable solution for both exploiting the memory-level parallelism and reducing the resource contention. This approach transforms a memory-bounded eager resource thread into a speculative light thread, alleviating critical resource con icts among multiple threads. Furthermore, it improves the threadlevel p...

In this paper, we address problems of efficient computing in distributed systems with non-dedicated resources including utility grid. There are global job flows from external users along with resource owner’s local tasks upon the resource non-dedication condition. Competition for resource reservation between independent users, local and global job flows substantially complicates scheduling and ...

In this paper, we propose Subtask-based Authorization Service (SAS) architecture to fully secure a type of application oriented to engineering and scientific computing. We minimize privileges for task by decomposing the parallel task and re-allotting the privileges required for each subtask. Community authorization module describes and applies community policies of resource permission and privi...

Circular economy as an advanced development mode for harmonizing the problems among resource, environment and economy, is destined to be the choice for keeping on developing. It is the sustainable development strategy which based on reducing, reusing, recycling principle and the recommendation of circular economy was proposed to build resource-efficient and environmental-friendly society. How t...

Reprogramming is an important issue in wireless sensor networks. It enables users to extend or correct functionality of a sensor network after deployment, at a low cost. In this paper, we investigate two problems: improving the energy efficiency and improving the delay of reprogramming. As enabling technologies we use data compression and incremental updates. We analyze different algorithms for...
