system designs, optimizing resource allocation to organization units, is still being considered as a complicated problem especially when there are multiple inputs and outputs related to a unit. the algorithm presented here will divide the frontiers obtained with dea. in this way, we investigate a new approach for resource allocation.

We introduce resource allocation techniques for problems where (i) the agents express requests obtaining item bundles as compact edge-weighted directed acyclic graphs (each path in such a graph is bundle whose valuation sum of weights traversed edges), and (ii) do not bid on exact same items but may conflicting that cannot be both assigned or require accessing specific with limited capacity. Th...

In this paper we propose a framework for an energy efficient scheduler for multiuser SCFDMAwith queue state information (QSI) and quality of service (QoS) constraints. Resource allocation is formulated as a two-stage problemwhere resources are allocated in both time and frequency. The scheduling policy is obtained in two stages for the intraand inter-user allocations respectively. A near optima...

To address the issue of resource co-allocation with deadline constraint in grids, a novel approach is proposed to evaluate the deadline-guarantee of co-allocation schemes that obtained from conventional co-allocation policies. Based on this approach, a hybrid-policy coallocation model is also proposed to address the issue of deadline-constrained resource co-allocation in grid environments. The ...

An autonomous agent, allocating stochastic resources to incoming tasks, faces increasingly complex situations when formulating its control policy. These situations are often constrained by limited resources of the agent, time limits, physical constraints or other agents. All these reasons explain why complexity and state space dimension increase exponentially in size of considered problem. Unfo...

Adaptive resource allocation has been shown to provide substantial performance gain in OFDMA-based wireless systems, such as WiMAX, when full channel state information (CSI) is available at the transmitter. However, in some fading environments (e.g., fast fading), there may not be a feedback link sufficiently fast to convey the CSI to the transmitter. In this paper, we consider resource allocat...

BACKGROUND Recently, a global commitment has been made to expand access to antiretrovirals (ARVs) in the developing world. However, in many resource-constrained countries the number of individuals infected with HIV in need of treatment will far exceed the supply of ARVs, and only a limited number of health-care facilities (HCFs) will be available for ARV distribution. Deciding how to allocate t...

In this paper we consider multiple constrained resource allocation problems, where the constraints can be specified by formulating activity dependency restrictions or by using game-theoretic models. All the problems are focused on generic resources, with a few exceptions which consider financial resources in particular. The problems consider low-risk circumstances and the values of the uncertai...
